Kolmården Animal Park Zoo: Snakes, Dolphins, Bears, Tigers and a videotaper

[fredriksam]

Hi there. In thursday me and my girlfriend traveled to Kolmården. There is a very nice animal park/zoo. I bringed my digital camera with me and shot some nice fottage of animals there.

Here are the first clip: its a bear that digs a hole for its cubs. Probably for protection or something. The cubs are cute.

Then we saw a extremly dangerous snake in the Reptilian area. The area is called "Tropicarium". The snake is a Black Mamba. One of the poisniest snakes in the world. They have about 100mg poison and just 10mg can kill a human. If you get bitten you die within 1 hour.

Then we went to the dolphin area. They have a lagoon where they can swim around before the show. Here i shot a short clip of the dolphins swimming around.

Reptile Gardens in Rapid City South Dakota has some black Mambas-and they also have the antitoxin-Required by law in the US at such facilities-and they could ship the antevenom to any area that is was needed in an emergency at some other place that doesn't have it.

Then we went and saw the real deal. THE DOLPHIN SHOW!!!!!!!!!.
That was way so cool. This videoclip is almost 10 minutes long, but its worth the time. The dolphins was so amazing and jumped and had fun. We had a fun time too. Outside it was raining a little so we spend the time there just perfect.

Then we went to the tigers. They have some nice Siberian Tigers there. In fact: this year is the Tiger year there, so they had built this huge facility where you can see the tigers really really close up and personal. The bus you see outside is a big attraction this year. You buy tickets and then you go into the bus. Theres a staircase you walk down and then up into the bus so you never meet the tigers without safety.

The tickets for the first "tour" was sold out but we bought tickets for the second one. Heres the first batch of people that went in.

Then later we came back. That was after we saw the reptiles and that. Soon it was our time to enter the bus. The rain had stopped now and the tigers was at the bus again. Even later we saw them getting fed. I,m gonna upload that video too after the "bus video"

Then we walked inside the bus and here is that video. I missed a tiger chuffing at me. LOL. Of course we watched their tails and that so they didnt "perfumed" us. The guide said that it had happened they done that a few times.

And finally... Here is a video of the tigers getting fed. I really like the Siberian tiger. They look so cuddly and cool. But do they have power in their jaws!!!!!.
