Today we ventured out of San Diego up into the hills just south of Escondido to visit the Wild Animal Park, a part of the San Diego Zoo. This is a huge facility covering over 650 acres with the public kept within about 35 acres. We were fortunate to see a show with a young Cheetah and an Anatolian Shepherd. These two were raised together and are actually friends but in the wild, the Shepherd is used to keep Cheetah's away from cattle ranches. Shortly after that we were treated to a feeding of three fully grown cheetah's plus we were able to watch a male lion finishing a meal. Once again this is a world class facility and we had a great time.
After we returned home it was time to hit the pool for a little cooling off. So we all changed into our swimsuits and went down to the pool to splash around a little. After our pool time we walked over to th South Bay Grill for dinner and to watch the sun go down. What a fitting end to a nice day.
As I did yesterday, rather than bore you with a blow-by-blow account of our day at the Wild Animal Park, I recommend visiting our photo albums.
