The animal fair

Who’s got the best mane?

Abby, Gina and I drove over to Gentry to visit the Wild Animal Safari. It’s a 180-acre primitive zoo. You drive on gravel roads through several big pastures where African antelope, camels, deer and other ungulates spend their miserable lives. Every now and then you come to a cage – some are big and some are small – holding more dangerous animals like lions, tigers and arctic foxes. The animals mostly look bored, which I’m sure they are. Click on the photos to see them much larger.

The best part were the pens with the animals you could touch – goats, pigs, turtles, kangaroos, etc. The tiny goats were very cute. We stepped in a lot of poop, though.
