Menorca Zoo - Animal Contact
The emphasis is on close encounters with the animals but without distressing them or changing their natural behaviours. The zoo features several themed walk through enclosures where the featured animals are free to roam around ( Eg Australia, Lemur Woods,Aviaries,Wetlands ).
There is a farm goats area, and late afternoons the keepers bring out animals so visitors ( in particular children ) can have close contact experiences with them, stroking and touching them - even the snakes ( @12:00 and 13:30 ).
The Lemurs are so funny to see 'snoozed' out then they wake up towards late afternoon...
