During orientation week, students had the opportunity to visit the Belize Zoo! Like the country, the zoo has a very laid back atmosphere with little more than a wire fence between paws and hands (or sometimes, not even that). All the animals are native to Belize including the harpy eagle, tapirs, jaguars, scarlett macaws, and lesser known species such as the gibnut and kinkajou. Getting up close to these animals was a treat as they are rarely-if ever- seen in the wild.

Hhhmmm, I seem to remember something from The Life of Pi about not petting zoo animals. Oh but that was just fiction! :-)
