:~: May 30, 2008 - Briarwood Safari Park..
That's where we went on a field trip with our homeschool group today. Briarwood Safari Park.
It was so fun!
We got to ride in trailers with built in seats.
Actually me, my friend, my little friend I baby-sit and my dad rode in a truckbed, so as to even out the weight of the trailer we pulled. :)
We got to feed lots of exotic animals by hand! And pet them.
Some of the animals were: Buffalo, (man, were they huge.they were like big gentle giants) Zebra's, Elk, Antelope (from Japan and Asia), Sitka deer, Fallow Deer, an Ostrich, Emu's, and various kinds of goats and sheep.
There were lot's of other kinds of animals too but I forget the names.
Me and my friend didn't like the Ostrich AT ALL. It was so evil looking and was kinda mean. It bit my sister Sarah! Evil Ostrich. :P
Our favorites were the buffalo's Bill and Bob. They eat out of your hands in such a funny way!
They stick their tongues out, you put the food on it, then they roll their tongues back into their mouths.
Their tongues feel just like sandpaper. And they'd stick their heads RIGHT over the side of the truck. :) Like in our laps. Literally.
Our other favorites were the Sitka Deer (so cute!) and the Zebra's.
I. pet. a. Zebra! lol. That's like a once-in-a-life-time-kinda-cool-thing. :P
Now...here's some pictures to explain our safari time better then I can put into words. :)
Feeding the Bison (this one's big so you can see the tongue.)
(BIG Bob)
Right before the "safari" started. These Elk were put their entire heads and necks into the trailer to try and reach our food buckets. :) (At one time an Elk stuck her head into the cab of the truck we were riding and pulled our driver's camera bag out. :P)
White peacock fanning for us.
My friend feeding Llamas (we used to have some...)
Evil Ostrich
My friend feeding and Emu (a big ,evil-looking but-not-like-the-ostrich, bird)
Daddy with a CUUUUTE puppy!
Being bombarded (I'm saying hi!)
Levi! (oh yeah. he rode with us too. and fed a llama out of his hand!)
Fallow Deer
Look at the horns on this guy! A big steer from some tribe in Africa. Sorry I forget the name!! It starts with a "W".....
The coolness of the Zebra's!!
Wanna know how to tell a male from a female?
The male is black with white stripes and the female is white with black. lol. jk.
Our tour guy told us that. The REAL way is the female (in the first two pics) has a brown tint to her black and the male had VERY black.
This is ME petting the boy. He was soooo soft and fuzzy.
Like a plush pet. :)
Before you ask: my wrist is wrapped cause I sprained it on Friday last, working with my dad. But that's another story. If you wanna know it (it's very short) comment and ask. :P
*ahem* Moving on... to the end basically....
My friend feeding the Zebra.
That's all I got people. So, tootles!
