Bowmanville Zoo

Katrina and Steve live just a 5-minute walk away from quite an unusual and entertaining zoo. Many of the animals who live there are trained hollywood stars.
We noticed later that the zoo map advised visitors to enter at their own risk. It is a privately owned zoo that seemed kind of like a farm. You could ride an elephant or camel and hold a baby tiger. This little goat squeezed himself right out of his exhibit and came to say hi.
This cow, named "Side Step Sally," was born with a fifth leg.
You could pay extra to ride through a lion and tiger exhibit. We watched from an elevated path as the lion pawed at the window of the tour vehicle - exciting!
