San Diego WAP Cont'd.
Different goats in their area of the big field. The animals in the big open field all stayed mostly to their own sections. The giraffe, rhinos, zebra, antelope, gazelles, deer, and wild horses all mingled together, it was amazing how they all seemed to get along. Each species had their own feeding troughs and they all knew where to get their own food and water.
It was so great to see them all together like this, the way it should be.
These are Arabian oryx, very endangered and very beautiful. Some people say the oryx is what started the unicorn legend. From the side it can look like it has one horn. It's the same with all the horned antelopes and gazelles. Funny how things get started.
The gorillas had a nice open area with trees and rocks, lots to do and places to rest and play. Babies in the maternity ward.
A lioness up on a hill eating dinner. She was very far away actually, thank God for zoom lenses. This baby zebra was very new. They said they let the babies be born in the pens and only bring them in for check ups and shots after a few days then put them right back out as long as everything's ok with them.
