The Salisbury Zoo

In Salisbury, MD their is a public zoological park. It is cute and free; it reminds me of a bygone era, for some reason. Today between shows, team member Annie and I visited this adorable place. You expect little zoos to have your basic "petting" animals, but this one has bison, monkeys, cool birds, otters, all sorts of mammals, a bear and 2 jaguars - standard and panther:

Some of the zoo still has fenced enclosures, but many of the animals are in naturalist environments. It is amazing to me that this place can exist without charging admission. They are working on a red wolf habitat right now. There is also an herb garden maintained by an Herb Society - did you even know such a group existed? Annie is going to start an herb garden this spring so she was examining them closely. And if you are wondering if she is getting paid while looking at herbs, flamingos and prairie dogs, yes, yes she was. Love my job! If you find yourself on the Easter Shore of Maryland definitely take a lunchtime stroll through the park; you will love it, too. One more pic for Erin!
