The American bald eagle comes swooping down from the back of the theater and it passes just above the spectaters heads. The bald eagle is not actually bald, it has white feathers on its head, neck, and tail.

The Macaw is a large parrot that is native to South and Central America. Some of the birds in this show talk, sing or whistle. One of the smaller parrots whistled the tune from the Andy Griffith TV show.

"Wildlife Theater"

Beautiful exotic and native animals featuring a wallabie, porqupine, monkey, and cheetah. None of these animals perform any special tricks, but it is fasinating to learn about them, and their habits.

"Kangaroo and Wallabie Exhibit"

This is not a baby kangaroo, they are called wallabies, and this one is full grown with a baby in its pouch. They have two different breeds of them, the smaller ones are called Bennetts', and the larger ones are called Drama. Their heights are from one foot to three feet tall. If you hang around after the show you may get to pet some of the animals.

There are two breeds of kangaroos here, the red and the gray. Now you can tell the differance between kangaroos and wallabies. If you didn't pet the wallabie at the Wildlife Theater, then you missed out, all of this exhibit is behind a tall fence. The exhibit is open all day long. If you realy want to pet animals then go to the Gentle Jungle Petting Corral, which is open from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m..
