Pana’ewa Zoo

A nice little zoo just outside of Hilo. They have an interesting assortment of animals including a lot of birds. Everything that lives here has to be able to cope with the hot humid weather so there are a lot of things from Central and South America.

Some sort of exotic lizard.

Poison dart frog.

The peacocks roam free.

We liked all the cute sculpted benches.

The tigers were the stars of the show. There are two, one white and one orange (named Tzatziki and Siracha). We thought this one looked like Hobbes of Calvin and Hobbes.
