Who said education has to be boring. Add a little education about mammals and conservation to your vacation. This tour combines three of the most popular attractions located in the jungle around Subic Bay Freeport. The Zoobic Safari brings exotic wildlife to the Philippines. The major draw is the tigers and the tiger safari. Here you enter safari jeeps to travel into a Tiger habitat. The jeeps are enclosed with a wire mesh to keep the sharp teeth and claws of the tigers out of the guest. And they do get close. Snakes, lizards and other similar animals are also available for viewing and there is a petting zoo with many different types of animals. A recent addition is the crocodiles, 200 plus of them. If you like, you can feed them. You can get a fishing rod with parts of chicken attached. Just lower it and try to be faster than the crocs.
Next stop will be Ocean Adventure. The Ocean Adventure Park is a very good introduction to marine conservation using large marine animals. The leading stars of the shows are the False Killer whales and the dolphins. Performing a number of times a day, they entertain the crowds with feats of acrobats and their swimming ability. . The park also has small aquarium that shows some of the marine life in the Philippines and a small WIN (Wildlife in Need) area that cares for injured animals from the surrounding areas.
Now that you seen land and sea mammals that just leaves those that fly. We will allow amble time to travel back to the Cubi point area before sunset, Going to the GUBAT learning center and learn about the role of fruit bats in forest ecosystem. "Gubat is a Filipino term for "forest." But Haribon's "Gubat" for its GuBat Learning Center is spelled with a capital "B" to emphasize the word "Bat". The Gubat Learning Center or GLC though is not only about forests and bats. It's about the whole range of lifeforms and ecosystems found in the Philippines, or simply put, the best of Philippine biodiversity.The learning center is located at the edge of the forest and very near the roosting areas of thousands of bats. The reason you want to time your arrival near sunset is because bats sleep during the day and start to become active in the evening. You will see at first individual bats waking and circling the area. As the movement and noise increase other bats awake and join in until a time where thousands of them in a big “cloud” fly off together in the search for food. These bats are known to fly up to 50 kilometers away in search for food before returning home before sunrise.
