TRY FINDING THE TORTOISES

I just find out from my dentist who is a real "Disney" person, that he never found the Galapagos tortoises in Animal Kingdom.

You have to search the enclosures on the back side of the Tree of Life to see them. Like many things in Disney, they are in a place that is often overlooked.

Sometimes the best way to find out about the lesser known areas or exhibits in Animal Kingdom, or any park, is to ask the employees. Ask those who have been there a while if they know of any hidden remote areas of the parks that might be interesting. Many of them can lead you to very interesting places.

Did you ever search for local alligators lurking in the pond to the right of the entrance to the Shades of Green resort (near the guard house). Good place to look!

There are also warning signs about the alligators and poisonous snakes that live in Florida around the pond - so you know there really are 'gators present. There are also a large number of aquatic turtles in that pond.

Lizards are most everywhere if it is not on the hottest days of summer - or too cool as winter sets in. Just look on the sidewalks on sunny days especially where there is nearby vegetation. Anoles are hanging out! Once you find one, you will start to spot hundreds of them.

Did you ever visit the barbershop in MK? Try a haircut there in the future. But, you have to find it first.

More fun things and locations will be posted in the future.
