Shep Rose Is "Checking Things Off the Bucket List" With Some Wild Company

Shep Rose and his Southern Charm pals have gotten up to some wild times, but not nearly as wild as Shep's latest adventures. The Charleston bachelor recently shared a peek inside his visit to the San Antonio Zoo. And by the time he left, he could confidently say that he was: "checking things off the bucket list."

Shep Rose gets a "behind-the-scenes" tour of the San Antonio Zoo

To caption his December 17 Instagram post, Shep wrote: "Got treated to an amazing behind the scenes afternoon at the [San Antonio Zoo.] It’s An outstanding zoo y’all. Got to meet all sort of animals up close. Especially excited for the sloth and turtle."

So, what were the MVPs of the zoo like in the flesh? He said, "They’re so chill. We should all channel our inner sloth." And those aren't the only creatures Shep got up close and personal with. "I now can say I’ve pet a rhinoceros and fed a hippo and a giraffe," he reported. "Just checking things off the bucket list."

Shep's photos showed him doing all of the above, plus another, more scaly activity. "You pet a snake!!!!" a follower wrote. Shep jokingly responded: "Under protest. They made me. I was very uncomfortable about it."
