I have just come home from traveling to South Africa. I was able to see penguins on Boulders Beach. Wow! I pushed my toddler in his buggy along a board walk and saw penguins nesting. Then I saw many penguins on the beach and I took some lovely photos of them. I went on a seal watching boat trip from Mossel Bay. From Plattenburg Bay I went in a taxi to a game park. There I saw some lions, giraffes, hippos, zebras and rhinos. It was an amazing experience to share with my young son. I so love to see native wildlife.
Have you seen many wild animals whilst traveling?
Which animals would you most like to see and where would they be found?

Hey max, sounds like you had a wonderful time. I love to see native animals in their natural enviroment too. In Victorai, Australia, you can see thousands of Fairy Penguins every morning and evening as they go and from the ocean to their nests. It's at Philip Island, and is great to see.

The most wildlife I've ever seen was at a zoo! What a wonderful thing to be able to share with your toddler. He may not remember the trip clearly, but he will have some wonderful pictures to remind him of the exciting trip. You must have had a great time. And great memories.

Not many no. Haven't traveled much. I have seen pink flamingos while in Florida. Also the occasional alligator. There really is a reason they call it Alligator Alley in South Florida. I have only seen tigers in zoos and on tv. But they would be my favorite.
