The Recife Zoo is a fascinating family outing, and on July 11 we had a chance to enjoy it with the Van Spronsens. At only R$2 per person, it is inexpensive, and as far as a popular attraction in a developing country goes, there were a couple of pleasant surprises: the majority of garbage could be found in trash receptacles and the bathrooms were in fairly clean condition with actual soap in the dispensers.
The Zoo has an amazing bird section
One of my favourite birds.
Eating a chunk of meat.
I didn't realize some toucans were so small.
I love these monkeys!
Ice cream at the end.
Where's my ice cream?!
Traditional touristy hole-in-the-billboard picture. Half the bear head is ripped away, and our little bear didn't quite get the concept of turning his head to match the picture at first.
Now the bear has a face.
The sweetest happiest bear you ever saw.
The Zoo has acres of natural park, and we got to see a capybara in the wild.
The prettiest birds you ever did see.
One lost its head!
Monkey with shoes on?
They have a very cool section with stuffed animals and skeletons. This is a hippopotamus.
Lion.
Siberian Tiger. Hazel was happy to be my model. With every skeleton.
Jaguar.
SNAKE!
This is a reticulated python.

The strangest animals you can find at the Recife Zoo!
