Today we had the day off and the first place we visited on our day off was called Deerland. This very tame sun bear approached us and we were even allowed to pet it. Most sun bears are referred to as more dangerous than tigers because of their unreliability.

Ostriches are usually regarded as dangerous because they are very protective especially during the mating season. We fed them some leaves as well as some pieces of bread.

This python was even a handful for all of us to carry, it must have been over 14 feet long. The trainer there said the python weighed over 30 kilograms.

Jamie hand feeds one of the elephants at the second place we visited. The little elephants weren't used for carrying people, but they still ate like the big elephants ate.

Hannah and Ainur ride out of the water after being dunked by this massive elephant. The elephants would play and splash water at other people who jumped into the water to have a once-in-a-lifetime up-close-and-personal experience with a giant beast.
