Out of Africa with Annie

Annie's in town so we jumped in the car Saturday and headed Out of Africa.

A South American Boa. No thanks!
This guy is about the same size as one of our lizards in the backyard!
Yeckth.
Sssssssssnake, as we say to Hollan about 4 times a day.
Waiting for the tram up the hill.
The Bibs has become a wave-aholic. She loves a new audience so Out of Africa was perfect for her. I think she may have wavers elbow.
Sweet girl.

Checking out the hyenas.

For five dollars, you can now feed these guys hunks of meat.
Feeding time!
Getting the hang of the tongs.
Snoozing.
"Only YOU can prevent forest fires!"
Dude and Bear.
This guy looks so zen to me. I love how he has his paws folded. What an amazing creature!
Scoping out some prairie dogs.
We're sweaty.
There!

Looking for lemurs.

Dude in the sky.
Kicking gravel.
Tiger Splash. The show where these absolutely insane tiger trainers goad and bait this big ol' gal with pool toys until she jumps in the pool. Again, no thanks.
See what I mean? Something tells me this gal wouldn't mind if she "accidentally" got an arm instead of a blowup rubber seal.
Up close again with the hyenas. I had never realized how big hyenas were. The females get bigger than the males (my type of species) and I would guess that the female here is easily pushing 200lbs. I wish we had gotten a better picture here because her boyfriend (minion) was following her around with 4ft long tree branch in his mouth.
Kibo. Alas, we planned this trip poorly and did not get to feed our buddy Kibo. Next trip!
