Here at the Lujan Zoo near Buenos Aires visitors can ride lions, cuddle bears, stroke tigers and feed cheetahs.

2. Cango Wildlife Ranch, South Africa

003_aligator At the Cango Wildlife Ranch, an endangered species center in Outshoot, South Africa, visitors can pay around $40 to take a dip with the crocs, getting close enough to see the crocodile's toenails, and within inches of their deadly teeth.

3. Sriracha Zoo, ThailandSriracha Tiger Zoo2 People often ask us for family friendly tourist attractions in Thailand where they can take their kids to have some fun. Sriracha Tiger Zoo is a great place for kids on holiday in Thailand. It can be done as either a day trip from Bangkok or as an excursion from Pattaya which is slightly closer. We drove down there to visit the zoo and it took us only 80 minutes from the Bangkok area.

4. The Tiger Temple, Thailand

It was founded in 1994 as a forest temple and sanctuary for numerous wild animals. In 1995 it received the Golden Jubilee Buddha Image, made of 80 kilograms of gold.

5. Maetaman Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Elephant-Ripleys Nungning is the youngest among the elephant artists at Maetaman Elephant Camp. She began painting only three months ago and is already creating beautiful abstract works. She paints circular and arcing lines across the canvas or paper by wildly whipping her trunk around.
Kam Pu-daeng and Nungning have a very close relationship but Nungning's best friend at Maetaman has got to be the eight-year-old Boombim. The two elephants will play endlessly together in the river during bath time. The only thing that Nungning seems to not like are dogs and chickens. She will get agitated when one or the other is near. Otherwise, she is generally cheerful and good spirited even though she can still be a bit mischievious at times.
