Don't let this scenic spot fool you; it's the entrance to the zoo, but also where the huge Arapaimas are!

From time to time, these lamps offer trivia. This one says" A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why"

My first snake at the zoo! No one wanted to touch it, really. It was soft and it had a 'wet' feel to it. The mouth was dangerously close to my finger, and it looked ready to strike, but the guy reassured me (that I'd get a free hamster if it bites me!).

My second, waaaaaaay bigger snake! Awesome! I swear it only looks like I'm strangling it. I really am not. I'm just bony that way.

It just naturally coils around you! Nobody even wanted to touch it, poor thing. I became the circus freak, with everyone taking pictures.

My sister feeding the arapaimas chicken parts. They jumped so fast and were hitting their bodies on the rocks!

Quite far! Took us more than an hour to reach the zoo, but it was well worth the drive!
