A nice find out in the QC area. I had seen signs for the Niabi Zoo on my frequent trips to the QC this summer on eating trips. Decided this past Saturday to take advantage of the weather and a free day at the zoo.
Small zoo, and well maintained. I am torn about zoo's like many - caging animals, etc. But I am not going to Africa anytime soon, so it is what it is.
Exhibits we enjoyed were the petting zoo, and the bobcat exhibit. I was particularly interested in the bobcats as it helped me confirm that a bobcat is in fact what I saw in my backyard a few weeks ago.
Made for a nice day out west: Zoo, Lagomarcinos, Wedron Office...
bad ass bobcats:
