KZAJ Is highlighting two of its famous residents... The tortoise and the Hyacinth macaw.
At Kinder Zoo Adventure Jungle, the 50 year old “Mr. T” (Sulcata tortoise) is a land dwelling turtle. The sulcata will  live over 100 years old and its shell will grow to over 1 meter in length and weigh over 40 kilos. These tortoises eat grass, plants and cactus. Unlike turtles, these tortoises are not shy and actually look forward to being with humans. You can feed a sulcata in kinderzoo. Watch how he easily breaks a carrot in two. Just be careful of his sharp beak. But he will not bite on purpose. Kinder Zoo Adventure Jungle is successful in breeding these tortoises.

Kinder Zoo Adventure Jungle is proud to conserve 7 Hyacinth Macaw or Hyacinthine Macaw. These macaws are the largest Macaw or largest flying parrot in the world. It is a parrot native to Brazil. These parrots are considered endangered numbering approximately 4000 in the wild. Hyacinth macaws are known as the clowns of the parrot family due to its yellow skin that looks like they are constantly smiling and their natural disposition of being inquisitive and playful. Visit these gigantic creatures in their aviary and watch how they will fly to you as you stand by their cage. You can experience feeding these wonderful creatures. Just be careful of their beak. They are so powerful with a crushing strength of 3000 lbs. per inch. Your finger will be like a matchstick to them.

These 7 macaws have been in a big aviary for the past 5 years to make them grow and mature. Sometime this year, Kinder Zoo will no longer display the macaws who have paired up and will set them up for breeding it its new breeding facility. Kinder zoo and Adventure Jungle's advocacy is to breed these endangered  animals.

Cheers!~
