Busch Gardens, part one

[urbpan]

I took a million pictures at Busch Gardens Tampa, so I'll break it into pieces. Here's a bunch of very nice looking American alligators!



This is the first time I've taken a picture of signage because it annoyed me. Humans are a subset of great apes, this is like comparing pythons to snakes.


The gorilla exhibit itself was quite good, however.


Like I saw a few months ago at the Naples Zoo, beautiful white ibises are very common pest animals here.


I had to get a shot of this: first time I've ever seen a flamingo eating kale.


In the nocturnal building: a bush baby! A tiny prosimian primate I've never gotten to see before.


I think this is a mixed species exhibit showing North America's two venomous lizards: the gila monster and the beaded lizard.


Something else I've never seen before (not that we're seeing it especially well here): an echidna!

Part two later.
