Hi everyone! I’m planning a winter road trip for December 26, 2025 to January 1, 2026, starting from Forestville, NY, and I’m hoping to get ideas from people who know good animal encounter destinations. We are driving only (no flights), but we’re willing to go any distance in the U.S. as long...

Hi everyone! I was watching the old movie “zoo” recently which takes place at zoo Miami. In one scene there are three African Elephant’s doing a performance who were referred to as, Moju, Mc Lane, and Mary. I decided to look around on the internet and see if any of them were alive or where they...
