Wadadli Animal Nature Park
28
When is a zoo more than a zoo? When it is designed and built into the natural countryside so tastefully, so cleverly, that you walk eagerly from one area to the next, to view a collection of animals and birds that live happily in harmony with nature. The Wadadli Animal Nature Park is just such an experience. It is set in a forested area near Potworks Dam, the largest open water reservoir in Antigua and Barbuda. The park contains some rare and unusual trees with informative signs nearby giving the geographical origin and botanical value for each tree. The focus in this unusual park, however, is definitely on the animals. There are more than two dozen different types of animals and birds in the collection, and they live in rustic open pens or roomy cages built into the surrounding woodland, with plenty of shade, and comfortable resting and feeding areas.
