When checking out a herd of animals at a zoo or wildlife park, do you ever wonder if they all have names? Of course, the wise keepers can tell members of the pack apart . . . but often in strange ways. For a crash of rhinoceroses at Busch Gardens, it's all about the (ear) hair. Get the scoop straight from another keeper's mouth in the video below!
Curious about what goes on behind-the-scenes with animal caretakers? With all the creatures — and massive amounts of food (yum) and cleanup (yuck) — I can't imagine it's an easy job, but still looks like so much fun. Now, I've already settled on a career path but Sea World and Busch Gardens have super cool Adventure Camps, geared to give teen girls this hands-on experience at their parks and encourage careers in science. A couple trainers took time out to share some secrets, this one about Kinkajou and Killer Whale treats — they're not the same snackers so check out the clip below!
Big cats are where it's at — and unless you are going on a safari, you might consider an up-close-encounter with the Bengal tigers at Busch Gardens in Tampa.
The folks at Busch entertainment invited me to check out Jungala, the park's latest enhancement, a 4-acre Congo themed area that targets tweens. It boasts zip line rides for 6 to 13-year-olds, Tree Top Trails — a netted multi-level maze for kids to navigate while their parents look on below, spraying water features and animal habitats, most notably, their incredible tiger exhibit.
