    We were told not to get to close to the tapir enclosure. As sometimes you may get caught behind them using the bathroom. For those who don’t know.. it projectile pees!! 🤣

      Yep, Jaguars don't like conflict so they were probably small dogs. Some farmers here in Brazil keep 2 to or more big dogs like Rottweilers or Brazilian Mastiffs to keep jaguars away from domestic animals since Jaguars are about the same size and weight as a Brazilian mastiff (between 50 to 100kg depending on the locality)

    I still can not decide what I love more. Your informative video tour of this wonderful animal sanctuary or the shirt you are wearing. ;)

    Great video Emily. I could tell the bugs/mosquitos? were eating you up........and don’t apologize about it not being reptiles. It’s nice to have something different.
    Glad to see you and Ed got a real vacation. Pat
