San Diego Wild Animal Park


One of our visits while we were in California was to the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. It is a park where the majority of their animals roam free. They still have some "on display" in smaller areas, but it was really neat to see all of the animals "in the wild" together.


I have one of these hanging in my dining room...

An Okapi, quite the interesting looking animal

They also have an aviary where you can feed the Larakeets. The kids got a kick out of the birds landing on them and drinking the nectar from the cups they held out. They weren't as timid as I had expected them to be. I figured one would come near them and they'd head for the hills - shows you what I know...

After feeding the Larakeets, our little birdies decided they needed a rest.


The carousel is always a hit.
