COLORFUL BRAZIL: King Lion at the ZOO in Belo Horizonte

BELO HORIZONTE (MG)

The ZOO in Belo Horizonte is located at the margin of the Pampulha Lake.  The complex also hosts an interesting botanical garden, where the visitor can wonder the colors and shapes of an elaborate collection of domestic and exotic plants and flowers. The ZOO itself hosts about 200 animal species, including some elephants, lions, tigers, hippos.
Most of the animal territories do not have cages, but high fences or walls. Even the big cats and elephants can be viewed without the presence of iron bars.
One of the main attractions is the lion pit, where royal couple have their castle. The queen rules the lion world, but her husband does not always agree with her. As a result, he complains loudly, fearing everyone around him, except his wife. She appears to have become deaf for his loud roars….
