While visiting Lara and John in Japan, we decided to visit a local zoo. Foreign zoos are always interesting and this one allowed visitors to feed most of the animals. This included patagonia maras, lemurs, flamingos, peacocks and even spider monkeys!
The super cute ticket they gave us:
They even had a separate petting zoo with guinea pigs, umbrella cockatoos, a magellan horned owl, blue-fronted amazons, marmosets and more.
PAW (Pet Animal Word)
Adorable guinea pigs

@slickwilly and I with an Umbrella Cockatoo, this guy had a big personality!
They also had a Magellan Horned Owl
and a Blue-fronted Amazon
Even cuter was the Common Marmoset who was jumping all around!
He was very curious about Wills shirt
After the PAW (Pet Animal Word) we moved on to the main zoo.
The Main Zoo
The zoo had had a wholesome welcome message and an adorable peruvian llama mascot!
Welcome to Nagasaki Bio Park. This is a field where plants and animals live together in harmony. And of course, we warmly welcome you here to! We hope that you will be able to enjoy interacting with the plants and animals here, while at the same time, keeping the park's rules in mind.

I had never seen a black lemur before and these guys were VERY interested in the treats in our hands. As you can see they are literally grabbing our hands to take the treats. (This montage is a fake out and he was pissed!)
"Wha????!? No Treats?!!?" - Mr. Lemur
Throughout the park we saw a number of wild crabs! These were not part of the park exhibits, just hanging around the park.
Feeding some flamingos, they were very gentle
A gorgeous peacock!
And the finale... spider monkeys!
Lara and John had some fun with them too!
We really had a great time at this zoo! If you have some extra time around Nagasaki I highly recommend a visit.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed the photos 😁
