To continue our LONG Saturday at Malumghat...
When we got home from Cox's Bazar we decided to go to the Safari Park. We really didn't feel like going (what I really wanted to do was take a shower and then a nap!) but since this was the only day that we had available to sight-see we needed to bite the bullet and go. So, around 4 pm we boarded a baby taxi (5 adults, 1 child...very interesting ride) for a short 10 minute drive down the road. This zoo was A LOT larger and better maintained than the zoo in the city. BJ was very excited to see all the animals (which mostly had natural habitats to live in!).
BJ liked the snake (or "ssss" as BJ says).
Some cages needed a little repair...
but this monkey was enjoying the view!
It's not everyday that you see wildlife roaming feely at the zoo (is a cow considered wildlife?)
You could literally reach out and touch this cat if you wanted. No thank you.
BJ is trying to feed this heron(?). The bird was a little scary. It just sat there and stared at us. We quickly moved on.
One of BJ's favorite animals is the crocodile. There is one in the water at the center of this picture.
The elephants were just standing around, chained to large tree trunks. The elephant rides were closed for the day :(
Family picture with an elephant!
We do not have a stroller here so I was very happy that BJ decided to walk the majority of the time in the park!
This sign made me giggle. This was the entrance to the lion and tiger house. I guess they eat veggies here :)
On day ended on an exciting note...an elephant (and trainer?) were taking a stroll around the park. The group of ladies to the right of the elephant is part of our party. We would have been right there with them but decided to hang back and let the elephant pass without us getting too close. Couldn't chance a crazy elephant with BJ.
