Wild Wilderness Drive Thru Safari - Part 2

Well, this post ended up with a lot of photos - so forgive me! The Drive Thru Safari also had a petting zoo part. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen. Animals just wandering around, eating out of your hand. There are some pictures where Gavin's feeding through a fence, but it was simply because we didn't make it into the area. You could literally walk up to so many animals!

Feeding the goats ~ this was the first thing we did when we got out of the car and Gavin ran straight to them.



Feeding the pig ~ this was really cute! His teeth were quite long and ugly...so I told Gavin to be careful. Later that day, I was asking him about our day, and he was telling me what animals he fed bread to. When he got to the pig, he said, "Be careful of his teeth!" :)
Here come the donkeys! And once they got fed, they just kept following me!

How cool is this? When was the last time you got to pet a kangaroo???
Jarrod petting a 2 month old tiger cub through the fence while we waited for our turn to go into his cage.
This 9 month old monkey really liked getting her belly rubbed!

Finally our turn to go in with the tiger cub - unfortunately, Gavin wasn't all that interested....
....but Jarrod was!

Gavin had a blast chasing the ducks, turkeys, peacocks, and chickens around. It was so cute!

Another big pig to visit with!
Just more proof that this place is a great day trip! We'll definitely be going back and probably taking anyone that comes to visit to see the "Safari!" :)
