Lions, Zebras and Chimps Oh My!!

While on our vacation in Canada, we got the chance to go to the local zoo Parc Safari. I had been there a long time ago, but Brent hadn't been there and we decided that it would be a good way to spend a Saturday. After waiting in line for what seemed like forever, we finally entered. The zoo is set up with a drive thru safari, then there are rides and a water park and then a jungle walkabout that loops around the inside. We decided to do the driving first mainly due to time constraints. This is the fun part because as you are driving around there are animals that are walking next to your car, checking you out and looking for a snack. Sometimes it can be a little scary, especially when they try and stick their heads in your window. Brent found this out first hand with a red cow type animal. Brent was taking his picture and the next thing we knew, the animal was trying to get in and Brent was almost on my dad's lap. Luckily his horns were too big and he didn't get in too far. This added a little excitement to the day! We were fortunate enough to see the new white lions that they just recently added to the zoo. They are not albino, but a true white lion that are very rare. There are only about 200 in the world. All in all it was a great day to visit the zoo!
