Takasakiyama Natural Zoo Day 6 in Kyushu

Cole and I went to the Taksakiyama Natural Zoo this morning and we will never forget it. We got there by train and after we walked out of the train station and toward the zoo, it took us about ten minutes to walk there.
Once we got there, we found a tour guide who told us that there are 61 species of mammals, 116 species of birds and 35 species of reptiles. We spent a lot of time in the monkey area feeding the Japanese Macaque. I don't think Cole will ever forget when a baby macaque jumped off a tree onto his head then peed!
After further exploring and seeing many new birds and reptiles Ive never seen before we sat down for lunch of chicken teriyaki and rice.
This was our first stop in Kyushu and we were loving the heat! Since the day before we were in Sapporo in the furthest island north and now soaking up the sub tropical climate. Along with the great weather we met more nice people, a young man who must've worked at the zoo, they called the monkeys by name so we could pet them easily. He also showed us the cutest animal in the world... the Japanese flying squirrel!!
The people of Kyushu are all very kind and from we what we tasted great chefs! We have had many astonishing traditional meals served from elder people, native to the deep forests of Kyushu. We tried grasshopper and a traditional stew made of tofu and tea. We went into the city for a delicious dessert of coffee jelly and ice cream after our fun time at the zoo.
