An Experience Of A Lifetime

While it is definite that every visitor will have an unforgettable adventure at Jungle Island, there are those who have experiences that will remain embedded in their minds for a lifetime. Nancy Mendoza, a rising South Florida spanish-pop artist, is a prime example. "I pumped up the trip to my mom for about a week, so by the time Friday rolled around she was excited.", Nancy said. During a recent visit to Jungle Island with her mother and neice, Nancy and company had the opportunity to have numerous encounters with our rare animals, such as our kangaroos, African penguins, and even an orangutan! "I really enjoyed the fact that there are so many great picture opportunities, and that J.I. allows guests to get so close to alot of animals." After a long day of wonderful shows, seeing our exclusive liger and crocosaurus, and a stop by the petting barn, Nancy was delighted! "The experience I had yesterday is one that not many others may experience in their lifetime. I recommend taking your kids and even your parents to Jungle Island. You will experience things there that you may never again see in your life."

"It's Pretty Much My Favorite Animal..."

Sure, there may be plenty of beautiful birds, an array of creepy reptiles, and groups of primates that will bring a smile to your face, but there is one certain thing, there's only one "King of the Jungle". Our Guinness World Record holder, Hercules, is not only the largest liger, but also the largest cat in the world, standing tall at over 12 feet and weighing more than 900 pounds! Here at Jungle Island, the only attraction where Hercules can be seen in person, he has surely swiped the popularity contest for his own as more and more people around the world learn about his presence. Our hybrid of tiger and lion has appeared on countless shows, such as the 'Today Show', 'Good Morning America', and 'Inside Edition' to name a few, warming hearts wherever he goes. Hercules, however, has some competition from his cuter, smaller nephew, Oden, who is also featured at Jungle Island. Oden, a Liger cub, and Hercules continue to show why Jungle Island is a premiere venue in South Florida for rare animals, entertainment, and fun!
