San Diego Wild Animal Park

On Friday we decided to do animals again, to give us a break between the two days at Legoland. The Wild Animal Park is huge compared to the zoo...the zoo is 120 acres and the wild animal park is 1,800 acres! We were kind of worried after all the walking we did at the zoo and that was only 120 acres, what was 1,800 acres going to be like!? By looking at the map of the Wild Animal Park it looked like we were going to be doing alot of walking, so we started out by going to the Lion camp. It turned out not to be as far as it looked on the map and we got to see lions up close! We walked to see the giraffes and an elephant show, plus several more animals then we got aboard the train that takes you all around the park. That was the best way to see most of the park and all the animals out in their natural habitat. It was like riding across the plains of Africa because alot of the animals were together in huge open fields, but where they were fed was along the edges so we got to see lots of animals up close. We got to see baby rhinos and a baby elephant as well as many more animals! We also got to see the park workers begin training a young kangaroo to be around people. The kids did really well at listening to the park workers and being quiet so as not to frighten the young kangaroo. Well it was another fun filled day full of adventure!
