Tama Zoo


Imagine the perfect fall day, sunny, still and just cool enough to warrant long pants and sleeves. This was our Saturday. We spent the day at Tama Zoological Park. It's 129 acres contain animals and aviary from around the globe. Some unexpected such as North America's gray wolf. The most notable attraction is the lion garden where visitors ride in a bus amongst the carnivores as they lick strategically placed meat off of the bus. We witnessed a massive bull rhino trying to ram his way out of his pen, eager to join or terrorize the other rhino monopolizing their outdoor area. While a performance for us was non existent, there is a high overhead non caged rope section for orangutans to swing and fascinate spectators below. In the Australian zone we watched adorable koalas munch eucalyptus. After a full but fun day, we chilled in the evening with family movie night.
