Live animals made a big splash at the 30th edition of the Arabian Travel Market that opened in Dubai today. From a docile hornsnake to a cute K9, animals were the stars of the show that is taking place at the Dubai World Trade Center until May 4.

Here are our top picks:

Hornsnake

The docile and friendly yellow coloured hornsnake was ready to happily socialise with anyone that was willing to offer it a hand. “He is quite a friendly snake,” said Marie, who handles the hornsnake as well as other reptiles at Al Ain Zoo.

Charlie

With his brown furry body and sweet looking eyes, K9 Charlie elicited a few squeals from animal lovers as he walked freely around the ATM halls with his handler. When a passerby bent down to pet him, he immediately rolled over, demanding a belly rub. In this photo, Charlie and his handler Hamda pose with other K9 members.

Bald eagle

The American bald eagle cut quite a majestic figure at the ATM’s Al Ain Zoo stall.
