el zoológico

A few weeks ago we decided to check out the local zoo in Cuzco.  We each spent all of 3 soles to get in.  We were told that it was a place where they’re rehabilitating animals and that they eventually plan to turn them back into the wild if possible.

 

The rules at the zoo were definitely way more lax than in the states.  We fed monkeys with berries off of the local trees.  Which was fun and hilarious.  One of the monkeys actually reached through and grabbed a kids jacket and would not let go so it ended up ripping.

Getting ready to head in for the night.

Awww…my favorites, los monos:

(The kid’s jacket snatched)

This is the famous Condor - the bird of the Incas. They are huge!

More animals . . .

The following photo is not sexual in any way.  The bottom llama is not tied up but the one on top is.  The bottom llama laid on the other’s rope and would not get it, so the other one was jumping on the bottom one, trying to get it to move.  We found it very fun.
