It used to be called a wild animal park, but now they are calling it a "reserve". Many of the animals are running free in extensive acres of grounds, and you have to take a safari bus to see them.
But some creatures are still in enclosures. There is the Scottish wild cat:
There's the Bengal tiger trying in vain to hook through the wire a piece of leg left over from a feed:
Then there's the fossa. His missus was missing - there were 6 cameras on the inside enclosure where she has 4 cubs, but not a whisker visible in any of them!
I've never heard of a fossa before! There's a cool wildlife reserve in Eatonville, WA called Northwest Trek where most of the animals roam freely and you take a tram through that area. It's pretty neat.

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful creatures. I've never heard of a fossa before either. Thanks for sharing that!
