Safari Park

Safari Park is always an adventure... It is interesting to see a variety of native species of animals, but it has its annoyances of the native humans in the park.  I am almost certain more photos were taken of us by the Bengalis in the park than any of the animals. We felt like we should have our own enclosure at times the way people stared at us riding by on our bicycles.

Bengal Tiger. We were all able to quickly pet this guy through the cage while the trainer was present.
 
Holly and Natasha going for an elephant ride. Looks comfortable.


After some negotiations we were able to get our bicycles into the park.  All the enclosures are very spread out so it is very convenient to be able to cycle from area to area. 
 
We were also able to give this guy a pat on the head. They seemed to like the attention - or they were trying to draw us in for a bite.

We are still waiting to see this one in the wild. His supper of three live chickens was waiting for him at the front of the pen - unfortunately he was in no rush to feed today.
