Our trip to the Belize Zoo
On my most recent trip to Belize we made our way to the Belize Zoo. This little zoo is my very favorite! It was created in 1983 in an effort to provide a home for a group of wild animals that had been used in a documentary film about tropical forests. Now the zoo spreads out over 29 acres, holding over 150 animals that represent 45 species native to Belize. It was a memorable day that included seeing the little Margay Scott and I donated to the zoo a little over a year ago.
