Guam Animals

[jonesy]

My kids are mighty excited about going to Guam and seeing the Guam Animals. They wish to know what are all the animals they would be likely to see there, and if they will get to them in open sanctuaries or zoos. They wonder if it is possible to see them in closure and take photos. And also they are doing vacation project on Guam Animals and it would help to have some knowledge of them even before they visit. So, if anyone has time to share their experiences, I would really appreciate it.

Guam is a popular destination having historical landmarks and offering numerous sights of interest. During my visit to Guam with my family, the Cushing Zoo located in Tumon provided us the opportunity to see the native plant and animal life of Guam. We saw a leopard, crocodile and other creatures. You can take photographs of the excellent creatures. We enjoyed the under water world which is home to about wide range of animals including sea turtles, rays, sharks and one 500-pound grouper. Your children will definitely enjoy the shark feeding and don't forget to take your children to the touch pool, which includes an opportunity to touch a small shark and other creatures. May be it will help your children to do their vacation project. We also had that chance to touch the cute little sharks. There was also the Sling Shot ride for the adventurous types and all of us were really enjoyed it. Have a nice trip!

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.

Thank you.
