SAN DIEGO SAFARI (Day 6 - part 4)

We lucked out and got to watch their feeding time.

Lesser Flamingos

Loud squabbles

Chilean Flamingo

A love tap or a napkin?

A patient and persistent Swan Goose also gets a treat!

Gorilla Forest was home to a troop of Western Lowland Gorillas.

While all the others had names too... such as Joanne, Kokamo, Kamilah, Imani and the baby Leslie ... Winston was the only one I could clearly identify (they didn't have numbers like the condors did!).

We then found ourselves heading to an impressive overlook...

The Asian Savanna and African Plains are the open-range enclosures covering over 300 acres. The Asian Savanna is home to rhinos, camels, deer, antelope, wild horses and asses. The African Plains has buffalo, rhinos, giraffes, waterbucks, zebras, gazelles, antelope, hogs, wildebeest, ostriches, cranes, vultures and pelicans.

Blue Wildebeest or Brindled Gnus

Roan Antelope

Scimitar Oryx

African Buffalo

Southern White Rhinos

The park was divided into upper and lower sections, so we headed down to continue exploring.

A bit of refreshment in the form of nachos and an ice-cold slushie!

The balloon landing pad

Nearby was the elephant viewing area.

Several large African Elephants

Making them work for their meal!
