Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
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.
