Like interspecies erotica? Then you’ll love the liger, offspring of a male lion and a female tiger. And Jungle Island has one. His name is Hercules, and he stands 11 feet tall and weighs 900 pounds. (That’s one fat pussy.) There’s also an albino croc, African pygmy goats, and all kinds of primates. Or check out the 60-year-old cockatoo, Pinky, who rides a bicycle on a high wire. Don’t worry — as far as we know, there are no goat-faced monkeys running around.

While you’re there, have a bite at the Lakeside Café and then waddle like a South African penguin to the private beach, where water slides and bounce houses await. Best of all, this Thursday is half-price admission at Jungle Island: $14.95 for adults, $11.95 for children ages 3 to 10.
