The chirping birds do the welcome bit into the Zoo.
Followed by some stinky geese, falcons, flamigos and pelicans.
There is an other birds section which houses the rare parrots and parakeets from Africa and around the world.
The petting zoo is a thorough entertainer for the kids ranging from baby porcupines, guinea pigs and bunnies and some goats and sheep.
The reptiles section is made indoors and shows a wide range of slytherins ranging from a sand snake to the amazon anacondas.
They have a small museum built in, which talks about some pre-historic pottery and some studies.
Last but not the least is the hero of the jungle, Mr. Tiger. Oh Boy, I can just go on and on watching these active tigers of Gan HaEm as compared to the lazy leopards, lions and bears.
The day we visited in March 2009, the Otters won the best entertainer award hand down. Flipping over, somersaults in water, cat fights, their feeding time - it was all worth a watch and was very enjoyable.
March being spring time in Haifa, some colorful blossoms in Gan HaEm that caught our eyes,
