Panaewa Zoo

The Panaewa Rainforest Zoo and Gardens in the only natural rainforest zoo in the United States.

The zoo has a large collection of tropical birds, some reptiles, and a few mammals.  Namaste the tiger, the zoo's main attraction, was not in his enclosure so he could get some "rest."

 Peafowl wander around the zoo freely.  Sometimes they wander into the tiger enclosure and get eaten.
