My family live about 30 minutes from this place: www.fossilrim.org . Driving through and seeing the animals in as "natural" an environment as possible is very entertaining and educational. My daughter has been visiting every few months since she was 6 mos old.

On Friday we visited and were the first ones in the gate. We got a rare chance to see the ocelot walking around (he was waiting for his breakfast) and got to see the cheetahs "stalking" a small deer outside their enclosure.

Hope you enjoy. I have photos of hooved animals (the giraffes are SO cool) as well.

We love the giraffes as well. We open the moonroof and they put their whole heads inside the car. We feed, pet and even kiss (I did!) them. We've actually been there so many times, we know them by site and name!

Here are two from yesterday. They weren't interested so much in visiting up close because of all the new green growth on the trees that needed "trimming":

We have a place similar to this in Ohio called "The Wilds". I am hoping they will get more big cats. Last year, they finally got approved for Cheetahs. Very cool
