There just isn’t anything I could compare to the thrill, excitement, and energy of being in front of a live crowd. It’s one of the things I look forward to every time we are on tour. Whether it’s seeing the shock on people’s faces as we bring out a huge python or knowing that each person leaves with a greater appreciation for all wildlife.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! I decided to put together some pictures taken on Christmas Eve of the animals that I could share with you. Please remember these are in the past (besides the picture above taken just recently at Festival of Lights)!!!
Check out Napoleon and Ernie our emus on Christmas Eve 2005! I love their “fros!” These days the birds are adults and have lost a lot of their fuzzy feathers. Emus are native to Australia but can tolerate temperatures from over 100 degrees to below 0.
Yes, this is me pictured with Sarge my rescued Green Iguana on Christmas Eve 2004! He was actually found in a tree in Caldwell, Idaho. If you look closely you can see that Sarge was missing his right hind leg. To this day it is still unknown...

Every time I visit our friends at KTVB the studio literally goes WILD! Yesterday for our Christmas special we surprised Ysabel Bilbao with Prancer the reindeer! (I tried to get Rudolph but he was booked)!
I loved this picture with Ysabel and Prancer who is also known as a domesticated caribou. Wild caribou are numerous and can be found in the Arctic and Subarctic regions.

Next stop on our tour schedule was a visit to the famous Central Park Zoo. It’s incredible to think that in one of the world’s most populous cites (8 million people) that a zoo exists right in the middle! Here I’m pictured with Japanese Macaques or Snow Monkeys. This species of primate is found in Japan where they can tolerate very cold conditions.

One of my favorite cities to visit every time we cross the nation is Chicago. This fantastic city is home to many award-winning attractions including the Lincoln Park Zoo. We were lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes tour. Here’s a sneak-peak of what we saw…
The zoo is renowned for their excellence in captive breeding critically endangered Lowland Gorillas. The exhibit called the Regenstein Center for African Apes tops my list as one of the best Gorilla habitats in the country.
