I am linking up with Camera Critters
The El Nispero Zoo was included in our week tour of Panama. The zoo and botanical gardens are located on 7 acres and is home to 90 species of animals. We saw exotic birds from Asia and Africa and tropical birds like the macaws, toucans and the parrots. The zoo also includes a center for the study of amphibians like the Golden Frog.
To see more cute critters check out Misty Dawn's Camera Critters. Thanks Misty for hosting! Thanks to everyone for visiting my critter post, I everyone has a safe and happy weekend.

A male Wood duck and a Mandarin duck
I do not usually like taking photos of cages, but this rooster/chicken was really pretty.
I just love the look on this parrot.
The four Blue and Gold Macaws are my favorite, gorgeous birds.
This dude was a cutie.
The Golden Frog is listed as critically endangered. Some individual Golden Frogs have been collected to breed in captivity to preserve the species.
The research center is studying the bacteria resposible for the eradication of the Golden Frog
This Ostrich is saying goodbye and thanks for stopping by.
love the mandarin duck in the first couple of shots! so cool!
ReplyDeleteIn fact, we are in a huge zoo.
ReplyDeleteWe are caged, together with all the critters.
lovely photos, wonderful to see the wood duck and the mandarin together like that! Two such fancy ducks!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - it's hard to pick a favourite. I hope an answer can be found to the problem of the Golden Frog - we can't keep on losing species.
ReplyDeleteSo many interesting creatures, great post!
ReplyDeleteThere are some interesting critters here. I like the macaws too. Mr parrot with his 'look' is funny.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit. I cannot tell you how shocked I was when I walked up upon kitty in the hanging basket...I was out taking pictures of barns for Barn Charm when I spotted him. That is actually a tall stool so it was like he was in midair. Love your pictures from Panama. They remind me of our many visits to Costa Rica down on the Osa Peninsula. We love it there and would move in New York minute if we could. The birds are gorgeous. Take care...we are off to Chestertown on Christmas day to see the daughter. Cannot wait. genie
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a nice zoo, good shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. I love the parrot.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great place to take photos, Eileen, and get a closeup view of many exotic animals.

ReplyDeleteEileen, I love your shot of the Wood duck and the Mandarin duck. I have never been able to catch the ones at our aviary in the same shot. I see you also got a little Blue bill duck in the shot.
ReplyDeleteThe zoo and botanical gardens looks like a great place to explore.
Hi Eileen, i love that "rooster" too, but is it a chicken or a pheasant. I noticed many Americans are travelling to Panama these days. Regarding my post, thanks for your comment. But those beetles are not my collection, i don't like them, i said there that i found them when i got some logs. I haven't seen anyone collecting those type of beetles, LOL.
ReplyDeleteAll of them are beautiful, but I really like that cheeky parrot :)
ReplyDeletebeautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Panama is next on our list of places to travel. We will definitely be heading to that zoo.
ReplyDeletegreat pictures...i LoVE the beautiful mandarin ducks!! their markings are amazing!

Ha, the ostrich never fails to amuse me... Such a weird bird.
