Papanack Animal Park Zoo. MILLIONS of pics :)
Before u say anything bad about this zoo, please understand WHY it is here.
Most of these animals were at a zoo in Sudbury. The SPCA closed them down for animal curlity & neglect. Papanack was origional just breeding a few exotics (for good purposes, NOT as pets) & took all these poor animals in.
They are still working on making the homes for the animals larger & larger & better & better. But thay r only 1 family doing their best for these rescued animals.
Some of the animals r horribly SCREWED UP (mentaly) from their old homes. Several keep pacing back & forth ALL day long, esp. the timber wolf. Rob & I felt so bad for the poor guy, but we knew that papanack did the right thing on taking him in, poor guy.
ok well I took 141 pics & lost 2 some how :( They were of the HUGE White Swans Walking.
OK so on with the pics !!
This is Neptune. He is a 300 pound 2 year old Male. The trainer put some meat on the fence so he would charge the fence & jump up 12 feet (its 12 feet with his head) to get the meat. She said it was an important excersize to help develop his dexterity (which he was poor in), he missed the meat alot of the time.

There was about 10 Ring Tailed Leamers & a couple of bunnies on the island. The island is far so I'll show some thumbnails of closeups of the cute little guys.
