瓜德罗普岛的马梅尔公园动物园

Très beau site.

Magnifique parc immersif. Un must do de la Guadeloupe.

Il faut préserver ces espaces, féliciter les soigneurs et les salariés. Bravo

J'ai aimé. Sortie familiale !

The lemur experience was amazing (you get to walk into their enclosure and sometimes they come up to you - there's a second lemur enclosure that you can't go into, so hopefully that means they only put the ones that are okay with humans in the first one), and I like that they limit how much raccoons can be fed by visitors as a lot of places overfed their animals for money. They did have some birds, but they were all in enclosures with other animals, giving them more freedom to fly than usual. I'm personally against any birds in cages as they need way more space than we're capable of giving them, but this was a good compromise.

A star is knocked off for their nocturnal animals being right on the path though. Another is off for them not having anywhere to hide from the light and visitors. One was desperately trying to hide its face in order to sleep, and that hurt to see. I would much rather him be away from the public, with a video up showing his enclosure during the previous night. Like a "live" camera with a 12 hour delay.

But all the animals did look healthy, and none of them were pacing restlessly or pulling out their feathers. I would visit again if I was in the area. Whatever your opinion on zoos, they can't better care for their animals if they don't have the money, and this one I believe is a good one worth supporting . ❤️
