A Trip to Out of Africa
May 29, 2004 on 7:30 pm | In Main |Today, we went to the Out of Africa Park, nearby where we live. The park will be closing next week over a dispute over the land, so we wanted to see it before it closed.
The park allows you to see many lions and tigers up close. We enjoyed the tiger splash demonstration the most. It’s impressive to see a tiger jump high into the air, grab a basketball with it’s mouth, deflating it in one blow, and then splash into the water. Sean had a chance to feed a tiger, placing a bit of meat through a chain link fence with a pair of tongs, where the tiger gobbled it up.
One of the demonstrations was with a giant python. Sean was nervous with the snake, but he did go over and touch it. Ethan was fearless. He casually walked over and picked up the python’s tail.
I emjoyed the hyenas the most. I did not realize they where so large. The pair they had stood well over waist high and had huge heads. I would hate to meet up with one, much less an entire pack.
It was a long day, but both Sean and Ethan were good sports the entire time, even though it was obvious they were starting to get tired. We just relaxed after arriving home.
