Yeah, that made me laugh also.

Where do you live that you're near a large herd of Bison & have Mountain Lions running around??????

I'm going to have to guess, just west of Denver or in Wyoming

Close. I'm at the foot of the Black Hills.

dunno about Hyenas but Houston zoo has these large african wild dogs:

African Wild Dogs - Houston Zoo, Animals and Exhibits, Mammals

Can't remember but I think there is an anaconda at the San Antonio zoo (there is a pretty large snake at the Houston Aquarium but don't think it is an Anaconda)

They've had Great White Sharks on exhibit at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium temporarily more than a few times over the last decade. They're released to the wild after some time at the aquarium, though they do have a Great White in captivity in the Open Seas exhibit currently.

You should check out the Monkey Jungle if you visit Miami. They have a lot of species you won't easily see in other zoos.

Welcome to Monkey Jungle

Welcome to Monkey Jungle
I've only been to Miami a few times, and each time, I would always say I wanted to go to the Monkey Jungle! IS it really cool???

I've always gone with people that just weren't into that stuff... It was either the beach, spa or clubs... Or just passing thru to the Cruise terminals.
