During a visit to Busch Gardens in Tampa, Fla., rocker Bret Michaels got to know a few members of the zoo's Animal Ambassadors team, including Harry the sloth, who enjoyed a big hug from Michaels.

Bachelor finalist Lindzi Cox wants to make one thing clear: any future with Ben Flajnik must include horses.

The 27-year-old business development manager and lifelong equestrian, who was one of three ladies to receive a rose Monday night, made sure she communicated that message on her hometown date Monday in Ocala, Fla.

"Horses have been in my life since before I was born – I rode before I walked," Cox said. "So if Ben wants to end up with me, horses are always going to be a part of our life together."

The scene-stealing Jack Russell terrier even sat down for a roundtable interview with George Clooney, who, to be fair, seemed a bit threatened by the dog's presence.
