Lions and Tigers and Bears! OH MY!

Yesterday was a fun day! We went to Out of Africa:
http://www.outofafricapark.com/ It's right here in Camp Verde. A lot of the animals are donated and recues. So not all are found in Africa!

After we paid our fee we stood and watched all the birds in the aviary. My favorite spot! Amazons, Cockatoos, white doves, lots of love birds. My kind of exhibit....

We started with a bus tour of the Serengeti and saw zebra, giraffe, ostrich etc. The guide was South African. It was informative but the giraffe didn't want to cooperate with the feeding!

Once back at the entrance we hopped on the tram and entered the caged area. They're really huge enclosure with viewing stands. Most of the animals can be seen. We both took pictures and you can see them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8643835@N06/

It's an all day event! We watched tigers playing in the water with toys and handlers. Got up close and personal with some pythons. Watched the predator feed as the last event. That was very interesting. The animals know when the truck is coming and wait for their food. you'll see some pictures of this.

Once home we sat outside with our drinks, coffee for me and Jim had a beer. It was chilly but nice. Our high today was probably in the mid-70's. great for being outside. For dinner I fixed spaghetti, salad and french bread.
