Fossil Rim Wildlife Center








You have to click on this picture and just look into those gorgeous eyes.



As you drive through there are several look out views




Aoudad aka Barbary sheep seemed very friendly and came running to greet us as we drove up. This one ate right out of my hand.





Madison and Matthew with friends from school






It didn't take long to spot a Giraffe, they saw us coming first.







I think the giraffes know if you still have food left








The park staff said not to feed the zebras by hand because they bite but that didn't stop them from sticking theirs heads inside your vehicles.










I loved just looking at their eyes and lashes, kind of reminded me of Madison's. Big, dark, gentle, Innocent eyes with beautiful long lashes.










Halfway through the park is a restaurant, gift shop, petting zoo and wolf exhibit but we weren't able to see any wolves.











At the restaurant having an ice cream break.












The kids had so much fun riding in the back of a friends truck and feeding all the animals. Mostly just throwing the food on the ground for them. The kids weren't to excited about all the giraffe drool but they were still good sports about it. I honestly thought someone would end up crying and beg to come inside the car with us.
