Animals found at La Vanille Nature Park!!!

in #nature6 years ago

Some weeks back, I went to visit a very famous nature park in Mauritius...It was after a very long time that I went there!

That place is called La Vanille Nature Park and is found in the south of Mauritius!

La Vanille Nature Park is famous for the different animals found there...

So today I will share some of the animals you will find while visiting the park...

I will start with the most famous animal on the park...

CROCODILES!!!

Actually we don't have crocs in the wild in Mauritius, the ones found in the park have been imported from different countries and kept in captivity!

I know keeping animals in captivity in not a good practice, but at La Vanille Nature Park they are doing a great job...from the little crocs they started with...now they got thousands of these thanks to the nursery system they have in place!

The next one that you will find a lot in the park is the lazy Tortoise!

Again the nursery is making an amazing job...

You'll find baby tortoises as well as adult ones!

Sad to see monkeys in cages...but for those who have never seen one...this is something spectacular indeed!

If you happen to visit Mauritius one day, visiting La Vanille Nature Park should top the list of places you must visit!
I am sure you will spend a memorable time there!

There's a restaurant also found in that park where you get to taste some of these wild animals like crocs!

Have you ever tasted crocodile meat?
How do you find this park?

Wish you a great end of the day/evening!
Thank you!

Hey buddy! I've tasted alligator but not crocodile. Did you eat any?

Hope the family is all well! How's the cafe going? Sold any food for steem over the counter yet? :D

Hey man! What's up!?
Hmmm I've cooked it for guests in the past...but never really tasted!
All is well my friend!
Oh I think you missed the great news...I made my comeback in the hotel industry...I am the new executive chef of a very luxurious 5-star hotel, check it out here!
The cafe is still running on strongly...I've hired a good friend of mine to work there now.
Plus I have my sister and nephew also working in the cafe! So all is good!
I've managed to get quite some new users on Steemit thanks to the ads I've put in place for steemit! Have not yet made any sales with cryptos, but this will happen soon I am sure!
People here (Same as everywhere else!) are quite reluctant in adopting Steemit/crypto! Don't know why!

Wow, things are really going great for you!!! I'm very happy to hear that! I always knew you were a 5 star kinda man!

Chewy but tasty, commonly found in southern cooking or even restaurants.

woow ... Nice

100 % my vote for you

Wonderful animals can be found on this site, the photo that I liked the most was that of the monkey is as if I was thinking hahahaha beautiful.
