The closest to me would be about 90 minutes away at the Children's Zoo in Lincoln, NE. Mostly just redfoots and leopards.

The Henry Dorley Zoo in Omaha has a few other types, but torts aren't one of their major focus points.

Sounds like you had a fun day Rees.:) Which one of the animals did you like the most or maybe were just fascinated the most with?

I love snapping turtles... One of the things I plan on doing this winter time is set up a pond for one... I have been reading about them for some time and it seems that they are really hardy and easy to care for...

They are neat animals. To me, they seem the most dinosaur looking of them all. We have the common around here. Would like to get a chance to really watch the alligator snapper a bit.

So what are your pond ideas so far?
