The Gulf Shores Zoo


Gaby, Candy and us old folks spent a most enjoyable morning at this small zoo. The highlight, of course, was the baby bengal tigers, who live there temporarily to get used to us humans before going back to their home in a private preserve somewhere in Florida (or perhaps, to another zoo.) Anyway, they get to mix with visitors a couple of times a day until they're around 65 pounds. These guys are about 35 pounds at this point (around 16 weeks? not sure) Lots of other animals, too, in very informal settings. Worth a trip, if zoos are your thing. Can't guarantee there'll be tigers to pet! Pics here.
