Wild Animals...Beware

Micah and I took advantage of our year pass to the San Diego Zoo which includes the Wild Animal Park as well. So we went on a little Safari ride (not half as awesome as England BUT the park was beautiful), checked out animals, watched a Gorilla battle, and just enjoyed the beautiful sunshine.

White Rino....only 8 left in the world. 6 in the Czech Republic and the other 2 are located here in San Diego. How special
Getting ready to hop in the jeep.
These vultures creeped me out. If you click on the pic and blow it up, look at the eyes of the bird on the lower branch. Umm death.
Pretty bird
Pretty waterfall in the middle of the park
Overlooking the Safari park. Beautiful area for sure
All of the lady lions in the pride. Feasting
Do not wake a sleeping Lion....seriously. I felt like in a move and it was going to jump out and eat me, but he didn't. He feel back asleep
Momma Black Rino and baby Black Rino....the baby was so stinking cute.
One of my favorite zoo findings...seriously how cool would it be to be a giraffe
Look at the sweet little baby with the HUGE head and little tiny legs. precious
My pet Gorilla.
The bird....
Yes this is a bird. that white circle is it's eye...and the little TINY pointy thing on the lower left side is it's beak. Weird little thing
This is PROOF that Dinosaurs and birds are related. seriously. if this is not a raptor i don't know what is. It actually made my scream a little when it flew over. CREEPY little guy
Feeding the birdies
This little guy cracks me up because his feathers on his head puff up and look like a mohawk
In case you didn't know, I'm a turtle
and so is the man I married apparently, but the best part is....This picture captures the moment Micah stuck his hand in bird poop :o)
Sweetest little deer ever. taking a bit of a nap while I pet them.
