Barbados Wildlife Reserve

Just had to go see wildlife other than the missionaries.  OK, just kidding the missionaries aren't that wild.  But who can be sure when you go somewhere with 18 missionaries.  These animals are not native to Barbados.  They are kept in a controlled area but the visitors walk in among them.

 

The caiman must not care for turtle soup.  The turtles use them like logs.

There was only a short wall between them and us.

The deer aren't big enough to get much venison from.  But they sure are cute. 

Sure glad this fellow was in a cage he couldn't get out of and I couldn't get into.

Iguana.  They say it tastes like chicken.  I'm afraid to try it because then when I eat chicken I'll think it tastes like iguana.

Colorful parrots.

Really colorful parrot.

Guinea fowl.

 

Peacock.

Capybara.

Barbados green monkey.  These guys could be called native.  The came to Barbados on ships as pets and some got loose and they are all over Barbados now.

Another flower picture.

Yep, that's me a basket case.

 

This was a fun day of seeing wildlife and being with the missionaries.
