高雄寿山动物园 Shoushan Zoo

Hi! It was just 1247AM right now and it’s Christmas!!!

So I am going to share a destination that I went yesterday, “Shou Shan Zoo” or “寿山动物园”. The ticket price is just only 20 NTD for students while for full price it is 40NTD which is also consider as standard for you to walk this large place!

There are around two to three places that sell foods, two restrooms and they even got several souvenirs shops for you! And the point is you don’t have to be afraid that you would get tired, because they provided you benches almost everywhere. I even had my lunch which I bought myself from my dorm when I went there.

There are quite a lot of animals that are not in the zoo when I went there on 23 December 2017, such as Formosan black bear, ferret, etc. They owned only one python, one elephant, one America bison and one pygmy hippopotamus.

When I was taking the picture with the green iguana, I was so shocked that the iguana actually stops its movement and stayed like a mannequin! And when I passed through the kid’s farm, I was given by the man two pieces of grass or something that the goat likes to eat, and I realized the goat actually know it and came closer to me. Thankfully they are not so wild. I touched their heads and feel their fur which is a bit rough. Oh and their rabbits looked fluffy and sooooooooooo fat! While their crocodiles and camel are so large, twice or thrice of me I think.
