April 10: The Animal Kingdom

Our first trip to the Animal Kingdom was in 2002 (I think). We saw almost none of the sights pictured here. We had no idea there were so many animals! Most we couldn't get pictures of. Maybe next time.

There are trails everywhere. On either side are open air animal habitats. Its Nahtazu!

This tree is man-made with hundreds of animals sculpted into the trunk.

Kangaroos A lively little otter I'm not sure these pictures show the giganticness of this tree. Its like 50 feet across at the base and holds the "Its Tough to be a Bug" 3-D movie inside.

 

At the entrance to the Animal Kingdom is the Rainforest Cafe. This big fella' was our table guest. Every 22 minutes, he and his friends perform quite the ruckus during the thunder storm. Every 10 minutes or so, he goes off all on his own, presumably begging for food.
