Auto Safari Open Air Zoo

Welcome to Guatemala.

Bettye, Syrena and I went on the Auto Safari while the men went elsewhere.  We had understood that we would ride in an open air trolley through the zoo.  However, we stayed in our big air-conditioned bus with dirty windows.  This did not make for the best picture taking.

Here are three hippos in a pond.

There were Iguanas everywhere.  We sometimes had to wait for them to cross the road.

The spider monkeys put on a show for us.

Here are some deer.

Here are some Macaws.

  

They had a pair of lions.  They had just had a baby and I had my picture taken with it.  I will post it on my facebook as soon as I get home and can scan it.

Another Macaw and another spider monkey.

 

They had two type of antelope in this field.

These are scarlet Macaws.  We were walking at this point.

This is another type of monkey.

Two ostriches.

A bunch of foxes.

A raccoon.

A Rhesus Monkey.

I don’t remember what kind of monkey this is.

This little fellow was very curious and came up to see what we were doing.

Two Cheetahs.  They are native to this area.

I don’t know what kind of cat this is.

Here we have a tiger.

This is a tree trunk that is hollow and that you can walk through.

Here is a white McCaw.

 

After shopping in the open air market we walked back to the ship.
