Belize Zoo



I visited the Belize Zoo and saw some amazing animals. It was un-Belize-able! Here are some of my favorites:

This is a tapir or mountain cow. It is the national animal of Belize. The one pictured above just laid there like a slug and wasn't too exciting.



Did you know a puma, cougar, mountain lion and panther are all the same animal?


You "toucan" see this animal at your local zoo.


This is a harpy eagle and was my favorite animal. It is bizarre. It looked like something out of a Star Wars movie. I stared at this bird for a good ten minutes.


A very pretty jaguar. There is actually a jaguar sanctuary in Belize, but I have not been.


The magnificent scarlet macaw.


And lets not forget this stunning creature.
