Sunday's Column - Safari Park part II

I already posted some details of the second part of the day we spent at the Safari Park in San Diego, in particular the fantastic cheetah and his friend the Anatolian Sheepdog, Yeti.

But one of the other delights was feeding the giraffes.  Here, S.W.M.B.O. is giving them some leaves which they seem to really like.  Their tongues are black on the part that sticks out as it protects from the sun's rays - they spend a lot of time with their tongues out!

This strange bird is called the shoe bill for obvious reasons, and he spent his lunchtime looking at us while we sat looking at him.  They do have some wonderful sights at the Safari Park, and we both enjoyed our visit there very much.  Can't wait to go back!  You can read the column at www.sbsun.com/trevorstravels
