Moapa Zoo

I read in the paper about this zoo in Moapa owned by a married couple that are both vets. It is really their collection of exotic animals and they open to the public once or twice a month to help cover the cost of food. They opened it for Halloween and invited the kids to wear their costumes. We were able to convince my parents, Aaron and Amy and Amy's Mom to come along too. We ended up all having a really good time.






What made this zoo so fun was the interaction with the animals. We got to hold a baby kangaroo and pet a monkey and a sloth.


Here is a little deer we were petting. Elliot is fearless with animals. The people that worked at the zoo were amazed at how gentle and calm she was with all of the animals. It was cute to see the chicken petting all of the animals. It was funny some of the animals tried to pet Elliot, they were very curious about her costume. Elliot also got pet by another kid, I guess they thought she was part of the exhibits.
