Today we took a bus trip to the Wild Animal Park in Escondido. It is associated with the San Diego Zoo. It was about an hour trip to the park. We were entertained by a presentation of animals by their trainers or keepers. This little fox is found in the Sahara Desert of Northern Africa. It is called a Fennec Fox and is the smallest of all foxes and the lightest in color. It is about 13 inches long and 10 inches tall. It weighs about 3 pounds. Its very large ears are about 6 inches long.
The next photo is a pregnant rhino. She is due to deliver in November. The gestation period is about 20 months.The next photo is a pelican. He would scoop and strain food through his large bill.
The last photo is my favorite --the meerkat. Since their supporting roles (Timon and Pumbaa) in Disney's Lion King, I am fascinated by these cute little characters.
