In Belgium at the zoos you can go right in with the animals.  We got to go in with the huge bats.  They fly right by you and bump into you.  My mom screamed.  I thought is was cool!!!

Here is me trying to touch one.  Mom made me stop.  Waaaaahhhhh!!!!!

In Belgium the monkeys aren't in a cage.  They are on islands.  You get to go on the islands and the monkeys come right up to you.  You can pet them and they climb on you.  I got bit 3 times.  One time by a monkey and 2 times by a lemur.  Oh well I still liked it.
