We took a trip off the private island to the Belize Zoo. It was here that we were able to get shots of the Spider Monkey which was amazing.
The Belize zoo was opened in 1983. They have a collection of native animals of Belize which you are able to see up close. Our Belize guide told us that all the animals were either donated or confiscated pets or injured wild animals which were sent to the zoo.
