    Whack-A-Nest: Due to budget constraints, we replaced our piñata with a killer bee's nest collected on-grounds! Blindfold yourself, give it a whack, and pray that you're not allergic!
    100-Meter Grizzly Dash: Take a cub from a female Grizzly Bear, and see if you can make it 100 meters without being pounced up and having your head ripped off!
    Rattle A Rattler- Pick up a rattlesnake, see if you can create music with its rattle, and then once it bites, wait for the venom to overtake your body!
    Where's Waldo-Animal Style: Look around the surrounding landscape and see if you can spot the animal before it pounces/lunges at you/you step on it! Consists of 4 exhibits; Leopard, Nile Crocodile, Stonefish, and Puff Adder!

    I like Rats. Domestic Rats that is. Pests I don't like so much, and giving them to various birds of prey and reptiles is fine (pre killed of course). But if it was a fancy one I wouldn't mind paying to feed and play with it. I could build a whole exhibit around them. It might be named "Everything You Didn't Know About Rats."

    I prefer wild rat species apart from Brown.

    A zoo could have an exhibit featuring non Brown Rat species. A "Rats of the World." Exhibit could be very interesting, if I remember correctly there are even some endangered types.

    I'd certainly enjoy a "Feed the Cloudrat" exhibit ;)
