Spread over 290 acres, Miami Metrozoo offers a truly wonderful family
day out and features animals from all over the world. The extremely
rare white Bengal tigers, with their white fur and stunning blue
eyes, are worth the visit alone. There are only 100 believed to
be in existence, so don’t pass up this chance. No less spectacular
are the two Komodo dragons which are native to Indonesia. These
are the largest and most powerful species of lizard and are fierce
predators. They were brought to the zoo in 1996, and have attracted
countless visitors ever since. Cute koala bears also prove to be
extremely popular.
Imitation rock tunnels, which form cave-live structures, are situated
along the 3-mile pathway that connects the different enclosures.
Hidden windows in these caves enables spying on such creatures as
the gorillas and orangutans. Other weird and wonderful creatures
include several Indian muntjac, a clouded leopard and small-clawed
Asian river otters. These are housed at Asian River Life. There is
also an amphitheatre at which regular presentations on the animals’ takes
place. These are well worth attending and are very educational and
informative. Nearby, there is a special section called PAWS, which
is dedicated to children. There are fast-food joints close by, but
tend to have long queues, so bring your own snacks if possible. |
