I went to Independence Kansas with my family for my cousin's wedding back in June. While we were waiting for the wedding, we decided to go visit this little "safari zoo". At first glance, we almost left. But whoa, was it worth it. We got up close and personal with some pretty cool animals.
The lemurs were up first. I want to hug one of these guys. They are rapid movers, with pretty (beady) eyes... and really, I just want to squeeze them!
This baby lemur came out of the cage to eat his banana snack... then cleaned up the fence when he was finished. Seriously, can I have him?
This is Betty the Big Black Bear. She was a lazy bum. Also, I would like to hug her. Minus her claws and fierceness.
She loved her cereal bits. :)
Now the monkeys. Honestly, not a fan of these guys. They are loud, smelly, and kind of scary. This one was begging us to come close so he could destroy us.
But this baby guy was cute. Just chilling... chewing his way to escape...
Now the big brown bear. This guy licked the safari leaders face, ate cookies out of his mouth, and was a super soft fellow. But look at those paws! Wouldn't want to upset this guy.
They had a few kangaroos, but one was the center of all the attention. She has a baby in her pouch. Hellooo little Joey!
She also would walk over to the edge of her pin and prop up on her tail to "rest"... strange little creatures.
