We made the trip up north to Caney, Kansas twice over the summer to visit the Safari Zoo. It is a great place and a one of a kind experience. You can tell that the workers there love their jobs and the animals. They have taken care of many of these animals since birth and can tell you all sorts of info about them including their likes and dislikes etc.....amazing how even animals can have personalities of their own.
One of the things the kids enjoy the most at this zoo is feeding the monkeys animal crackers. These ringtail lemurs are tame enough that they let the kids actually hand them the crackers and they will take it from their hands.
Nothing like getting close and personal with an alligator. They let us all touch the alligators tail. There's not very many places that you get to do that.
Here the tour guide is feeding the tigers raw chicken. This gives us the chance to see these animals up close and see how tall they are and how big their teeth and paws are.
This is called the Tiger Splash. They throw a whole raw chicken into the water and the 3 tigers will jump into the water after the chicken.
It's pretty obvious that these guys love their job. Both times we went the owner pulled out different animals for us to see up close and hand crackers too.
Baby white tiger only 3 weeks old
Baby leopard only 2 weeks old
Kojo the Gizzly Bear
This zoo even has hyenas which I thought was pretty cool.....and when the tour guide holds up the raw chicken the hyenas will actually start making noise that sounds like laughing.
