A zoo in the highest!

A few years ago a philanthropist decided to create a Zoo in the high hills of Gramado, a tourism city, famous for it’s “winter season” (where some of the snow pictures were captured). He donate 200,000 square metres of natural rainforrest for the development of the Zoo. Some endangered species were saved from ilegal hunters and are preserved in the areas.
The enviroment was recreated to offer to the animals the closest to their natural habitat.
Walking among the tucanos, araras and parrots, healthy and curious birds coming close to watch us, was one of the greatest experience I ever had.
The ropes are to keep people out
This guy was so close … :o)
Well, thanks for the offer lady but I dont eat women fingers… :P
My name is “onça pintada”… not jaguar!!! pftttt
Does anybody saw where did I hide my ants???
The “quati” (big nose from tupy-guarany language – coati) – was hiding his long nose
At last, but not lest, 2 Araras in their “affair”

Great blog Aleyna, I think Goypedia is an encyclopedia of all things GoY! With help and advice on growing, planting and generally caring for the garden/enviroment I'm sure someone can enlighten us both? Lol :~)))

Hi Aleyna, Ian ~
GoYpedia has headings for different categories such as roses, trees, dogs, cats. It will help you find more blogs and photos on the same theme... e.g. Ian you could look for more Cacti.
I edit ~
Wellies and Garden Footwear,
Pets in the Garden (not dogs and cats...they have separate categories edited by Jacque)
Flower Pot People.
To nominate for a GoYpedia category, you can click towards the top right of a photo page or blog page.
Look at the alphabet across the base of the page here.
Click on a letter, e.g. F for Fuchsia.... You'll see all the categories starting with the letter F, including Fuchsia, and Flower Pot People.
I hope this helps. !
P.S. We need more photos of Flower Pot People, please. They are very elusive. Not easy to get their pictures. Lol.

Thank you Ponty,
I found out this las week that this philantrophist it is a retired Medical Doctor who worked to the government taking care of the poor people for many many years.
As his office was wealthy he use to dedicate almost 30% of his practice hours caring for poor people.
