The Wilds part 3







My favorite part of the day was in the rhino pen. We stopped at a place called the Outpost where there is a pen they use to feed and check the rhinos. One of the keepers was there and asked if we wanted to meet the rhinos a little closer, to which of course we said "yes please". The rhinos were all relaxing in the grass in the paddock maybe 100 yards where we were.
The keeper just yelled "hey rhinos come here" and they all got up and slowly ambled over to see what he wanted, or more likely expected to get fed.
Once inside the pen we were able to pet and touch them. They are massive but surprisingly docile when they want to be.





Safari Park - giraffes

 My favorite part of the safari was the giraffes, they are such beautiful animals and the park herd included several babies and juveniles.
