I read your post on inquiring about seeing Guam animals.
There is a local zoo in Tumon that allows children to see
many, but not all of the local animals up close. The zoo
is located on Matapang Beach and is behind the Holiday in
hotel. The Guam Zoo has many animals such as, local fish in a large aquarium, moray eel, Turtles, differents kids of birds, local pigs, sharks, 1 ostrich, 1 leopard, pea****s, rabbits, crocodile's, alligator's and more! It is a very very small zoo and it locally owned. When and if your there ask them to
give you animal feed and ask if they could feed the sharks.
They might charge extra.

The Guam bird, the Koko bird is endangered and is not featured in any of the zoo's but if you go to the Department of Agriculture they will be happy to make you see one!

There also is a botanical garden and mini-zoo in Tumon called
Isla Garden and it is located across the Okura Hotel.
This is much cleaner and better than the Guam Zoo but
lacks the animals that the other zoo has. It also has
a jungle walk and much more! They also have a mini-mart
inside the zoo.

There is also another zoo down south called the Cushing Zoo,
Ive never been there so youll have to call around and find
out where its at.

If you would like to know more email me at dear.aguarin@hotmail.com.

Thank you.
