Animals... Up Close

Andrew Simmons, a wildlife expert was doing a show locally so we went to see the animals.  I think Max really enjoyed seeing the animals; we were so close to them that he sat very still and took it all in.   After the show they did a raffle and Max won the 'medium' tiger, good thing he didn't win the big one, it was bigger than him!  

Here's a few pictures from the show.

An eagle.

An owl, I think we woke him!

I don't remember if Mr. Simmons said this was a crocodile or an alligator, I do remember that he said it had a bad attitude!  He was hissing at us.  


This lizard needs a manicure!  He was actually in captivity becasue one of his claws was broken.

 Mr. Simmons holding a big python!  He tried to feed the snake in front of us, but he wouldn't eat.

A four month old lion cub.

hard to imagine what he thinks about all these new experiences .. so wonderful that you get to share them together ... because ... I bet you've never been that close to those kinds of animals either !

Can't believe you saw this guy. We took Tanya and Jenny when they were little too. They loved it. Hope Max did too.
