Animal Safari

We went to the Wild Animal Park today. This is a part of the same organization as the zoo but more oriented to keeping the animals in a natural habitat to promote breeding. They have helped bring some species back from the brink of extinction and introduced some back into the wild where they had been completely hunted out (presumably with some sort of security). It was neat to see the animals, especially the babies including gazelles, giraffes, ostrich eggs and more. We also saw a cheetah up close which Alex loved – who knows maybe someday he will be here at the zoo training wild animals …
