Happy Birthday Mattaha

We had a great birthday part for Mattaha White who turned 8 years old - Old and Young had a great time.  We started with the trolley ride to the Zoo, gave personal tours to all guest and then pizza and cupcakes in the picnic gardens with animals around to interact with:  bearded dragon, tiger, wallaby joey and a kinkajou ending with the trolley ride back to the gift shop for shopping.  see pics:

      


    

New Tiger Name - "Nakita"

Wow - we had some awesome submissions and it took our pannel a week to decide - but her new name is "Nakita", which is Russian for "unconquerable".  We felt the name fits her nicely since she is Siberian and is a ball full of energy.  We have had many tourist take advantage of the hands on with Nakita, unfortunately this will be ending soon - due to her increase weight.  So do not hesitate if you want the opportuity to pet Nakita at the Zoo. 

     


      

Freeze of 2009

Wow - YES this is Florida - what a challenge for us and the animals.
