Asheville zoo

So as part of our trip to NC, we stopped at the Asheville wildlife area. Its a small zoo that is focused on local wildlife. Its a nice little zoo and the kids enjoyed it a lot.

They had an indoor part with lots of herps. Here is Amalia checking out the hellbender salamander, you can see it in the upper right side of the aquarium.

She also like the snakes. Camilo was scared of the snakes, so no pics of him.

The outdoor section had lots of cool animals. Here are the otters. Unfortunately the bears were still hibernating.

Amalia loved the otters.

She also wanted to drive the old tractor.

Camilo finally found an animal that liked him as much as he liked them. The willy coyote went crazy for the kids and wanted to nip at the boy's shoes. Camilo thought it was hilarious.

He just couldn't get enough.

The coyote would also jump up when Lisa lifted the kids up.

Eventually Lisa got tired...

These grey wolves weren't nearly as exciting...
