This guy's name is Junior. I got to pet him and feed him and as ferocious as he looks, he's a big baby. This zoo is the coolest! All the animals that are there are native to Belize so they are all in their natural habitat 🐾 #Belize #Zoo
The Belize Zoo is one of the most popular attractions in Belize City (or just outside, in this case). The 29-acre zoo is home to over 120 species of animals native to Belize. You'll get to see jaguars, macaws, snakes, pumas, tapirs, crocodiles, assorted birds, and more. Most of the animal interactions are pretty close, lending a personal feel to the "best little zoo in the world."

We were able to interact with a 3 year old female jaguar. We got to work with her to do tricks, feed her and pet her paw. Well worth the $5!

The zoo offers a Jaguar experience 4 times a day where you are in a cafe the Leopard will climb. You can feed it and it gives you a kiss!
