Red Neck Zoo





Yes you read right. We went to one of the most strangest zoo's ever. Last Monday at Myrtle Beach it was raining but 20 minutes away where there was a zoo it wasnt. So we loaded the kids and off we went. When they said admission was only 7 dollars for an adult that should have been the 1st clue.


When we pull in to the drive of the Zoo there is a peacock running free and we think oh no its gotten out of the fence we better tell them. But to our suprise they let ALL the peacocks run free. They we everywhere we turned. When we get into the area where the animals are they are just all in chain link fence. For 5 dollars you can buy a huge freezer bag of food to feed to them all. Some fences said CAUTION WE MAY BITE, and some said DO NOT HAND FEED WE WILL BITE. Uncle John didnt read those signs, thankfully he didnt lose a hand or fingers. :)


Now I have to say this Zoo had such a variety of animals and even animals we havent seen at the big zoo's such as 3 huge Lions, Black Bears, Bob cats, Leopards, Mountain Lions, cows, llama's, and my all time favorite was the ZONKEY. A zonkey is half donkey and half zebra. It was very interesting its legs were white and black stripe, the body was brown and black stripe, and the head was a donkey. I was not able to get any pictures of that animal but Amy will send them to me and then I will post them. But here are a few of the others that we did get.

We had a zoo in Maryland very similar to that one. Just a handful of animals (although they did have mountain lions and bears)... and admission was free.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that the zoo you were at had lions and such behind flimsy chain link fences! Yikes!

Did they make you sign release forms before you entered?!
