Busch Gardens Tampa - Animals

 

Welcome back to Busch Gardens Tampa.
In this update, we will focus on the animals that call this park home

One of the best ways to see the animals up close is the Serengeti Express

I find if you sit on the left side you will have the better views

The free roaming animals are just amazing to look at

There are a lot giraffes out here

A zebra friend and some type of cattle but I forget their proper name

Heading into the next section

Ostrich.  We're pretty sure she is sitting on an egg

More zebra

White Rhino up in the shade

"Fast Food"

Back in the actual park you can see the elephants

Walk-a-bout Way is home to the kangaroos

They just chill

So unbothered by everything

I'm not sure this guy was supposed to be out of the pen, but he was just soaking up the sun

Pretty topiary of a butterfly

The park has so much to offer besides the rides.
