Caribbean Gardens:
Naples Zoo

Despite the Caribbean name, a large amount of the animals here were African. I wanted to visit here because they have a 20 minute boat ride through monkey islands and I love monkeys! Unfortunately, alot of them were hiding that day. They also had an alligator feeding where they fed them chickens followed by a petting session. They feel like hard plastic on top and rubber on their belly. The other highlight was the talking parrots that were hitting on Jeff. When he walked by, one of them whistled and said "hello"!!
