San Diego Wild Animal Park






On Sunday Dan and I went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park and took lots of pictures. First, we took the Journey into Africa tour that replaces the Wgasa Bush Line Railway. The tour is shorter and only covers the African section but it is still a good way to see some of the larger herds. The cheetahs were out this time (first picture) and we got to see one of the baby giraffes (second picture).

Next we walked through the Heart of Africa section. We saw a number of exotic birds and spent a lot of time watching the flamingos (third picture) and feeding the ducks. The colobus monkeys were out on their island (fourth picture). We also saw the warthog, bat eared foxes, gerenuks, okapi, duikers, and gazelles.

We had lunch by the lagoon and watched the water birds including the shoebill stork, and a family of pelicans (fifth picture). The park was the most crowded that we have ever seen so we only got glimpses of the lions and elephants. Even the condors had a large crowd. Still, it was a fun day at the park.
