At this Living Desert Zoo, the cheetahs were very interesting to watch. The Animal Handler would blow a whistle and wave a flag to entice the cats over to her area. Then would throw meat to them. She called them by name also. I asked her if they really knew their names. She said they did, but whether they decided to answer when called was a different story.
Chose not to take the 3 minute camel ride. It would have taken me 10 minutes to get on this camel.
Our tour guide took us into the animal hospital. They were getting ready to deal with an owl that had lost one leg, but didn't get to stay to see what happened. Below is an x-ray of a turtle with a very large stone in it's bladder. Stone is in a jar below. They cut a square out of it's shell, removed the stone, then glued the shell back with super blue.
Above is a Mexican Wolf. They were nearly extinct, but through invitro fertilization, they have been able to bring this species back.
So nice just driving around the Palm Desert, Palm Springs area and seeing this beautiful landscape. But would not like to be here in the summer when its 110 degrees.
