It was beautiful weather, and after buying a sun hat, we spent the day wandering around the park, looking at all the animals. They have made the animal enclosures as close to the wild as possible, and all the animals have a large space to move around in. In the afternoon we took an open safari-style bus around the largest part of the park, to see the larger animals roaming freely.....we saw giraffes, rhinos, cheetahs, and many more.
At the end of the trip we passed the lion camp - the lion you can see in the picture is the biggest. They had to reinforce the roof of the jeep because he was so heavy!
After that we went to see the new baby elephant that was born a couple of weeks ago - he was the cutest and my favourite. Tim's
favourite was the Californian Condor you can see in the last picture....not nearly as cute as the elephant, but we were lucky to see one, as they were extinct in the wild in the 1980s, and thanks to the San Diego zoo, there are now over 300 roaming around.After a tiring day wandering around in the sunshine, we went back to Dan & Alishas for a relaxing bbq and beer. Good end to a lovely day.
