The three of us spent the day at the Wild Animal Park in Escondido. It’s really part of the San Diego Zoo – just at another location. The zoo seems to have many locations – in some places they breed animals as part of an effort to prevent some breeds from becoming extinct.
The park is huge and you can take a bus tour to see the area with the giraffes, rhinos, cheetahs, gazelles, etc.
Morgane loved feeding the lorikeets. You can buy nectar and then you have to hold it tightly and the birds will come and drink it out of the cup. She was patient with the bird that wanted to sit on her head.
We saw young elephants, giraffes and even a rhino. There was a petting zoo with different African deer-like creatures.
We also saw one of the animal ambassadors – a cheetah whose best friend is a dog. The dog was raised with the cheetah and the dog always comes along and makes the cheetah feel safe. He figures that if the dog is okay, he must be okay, too.
