Safari Park

Today we started at 9:30 and off to the Safari Park Zoo - it was about a 30 minute drive over. The other family with our agency went too.

The first part we did on a small train and you ride through with the animals walking across the road - well the deer and the Non-Predatory animals. The others were not as accessibile. For that we were thankful.

The other part on foot, was fun! There were lots of really cool animals. There were 10 Pandas - one of which was 31 years old. There were a lot of White Tigers and we got to get our picture made with one. It was a baby and Dave took the picture, Aric did not want to be in it. He was very afraid of this animal. As I am holding the little tiger he starts growling. And even as small as he was the growl was intimidating.

Later we fed the Giraffes and some Squirrel Monkeys. We saw Koala Bears (although since they are nocturnal they were asleep.) They have twin Koala's which is rather unique!! I think Alex's favorite may have been the baby chimp and organtan. They were dressed in baby clothes and in a little glass enclosure. They were really cute. Aric still likes the Pandas. These Pandas were more lively than at the CQ zoo. Guess we caught them at a good time.

Alex was playing and running and fell down on his face!! He didn't get badly hurt but he scraped up his nose and knees. I will post pictures of our day and his poor little face.
