Did you know that Bactrian Camels store fat in their humps (not water) or porcupines cannot shoot their quills -- they have to run backwards at a predator to stab them with quills? These are only a couple of the interesting facts that you can learn at the Roos-N-More Zoo, located about an hour's drive from Las Vegas.
The zoo has over 160 animals living at the facility and children are allowed to touch and play with many of the baby animals. Visitors are even allowed to feed some of the animals! Did you know that camels love to eat carrots? If you are an adult, you can even put a carrot in your mouth and the camel will grab the other end of the carrot and have it for a snack! Did you know that camels have bad breath?
The zoo is operated by veterinarians Dr. Valerie and Jay Holt and their family, who believe in "conservation through education and hope that the up-close and personal encounters with our animals will inspire people to help save their wild counterparts." This is a great activity for the entire family!
