This is Rainforest Adventures in Pigeon Forge. Usually attractions in Pigeon Forge are tacky, but this was a very educational and exciting place to see animals, and it wasn't gimmicky at all. There were lemurs, alligators, tortoises, poison dart frogs, something called a coatimundi, lots of exotic birds, and gigantic insects. The glass enclosures were well designed so that you could see the animals up close. The animal show "host" told us that most of the animals were born in captivity and were very comfortable with people. The pink cockatoo seemed to be in love with him. It layed the feathers on its head down and made these "baby eyes" at him. It was precious.
All the kids got to hold the snake at the end of the animal show.
The doves were so beautiful. There were also blue macaws, african grey parrots, and parakeets. Parakeets, iguanas, and turtles were all on display in an "aviary" together.
You can hardly see it, but it's big and yellow and 27 feet long. Take a measuring tape and put it around a soccer ball, that's its circumference. It's little friend is only 14 feet long. Were they pythons? I read the info on the wall, but I was so blown away by the size I forgot to read the species!
That's not a monkey. It's a lemur. It followed Jake back and forth. The kids started running. It "chased" them.
Monitor Lizard.
Egyptian Spiney Mice.
Mongooses. (Mongeese?) Where the heck did that name come from anyway?
This is a gecko. He didn't try to sell me any car insurance. But he was very theatrical.
I think this is a boa constrictor.

What a funny gecko. Jake looks a little afraid of the snake. Read your deal on the rats and am glad you found them. Do you think that Josie has special powers?
Special powers or special ed, we can never figure out which one.
