St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park


I have been wanting to see the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park for a long time and it did not disappoint me. This Scarlet Macaw strikes a 'Groucho' pose. (Actually, he was just scratching his head.)


As much as I love birds, this Blue and Gold Macaw was a foul-tempered fowl. It didn't like cameras or even those who stopped to say hello. It didn't take long for people to move on once it let out a couple of deafening squawks and leaned in to give you the evil eye. Beauty was definitely only feather-deep on this bird.


There are several species of alligator, caiman, and crocodiles on display at the Alligator Farm.


As well as a Komodo dragon.


This fellow was much more people-friendly.


Look at this awesome Bornean Crested Fireback Pheasant!


Sunning.


A Galapagos giant tortoise.


Other large tortoises take a lunch break.
