After a day at sea we arrived in the port of San Diego. We went to the
San Diego Wild Safari Park. This was another day full of walking and in a much warmer temperature.
We signed up for a tram safari and thought it would be at least a two hour ride -- it was only 30 minutes. The driver would slow down for us to see animals but never really came to a complete stop. I did manage to get some great shots any way.
Something I really got excited about is this little one. This baby elephant was only a few days old when we visited. How sweet can you get?!?
Here's some other photos of the wildlife. Enjoy!!

| What a grump!! |

| Is it a donkey? A zebra? The guide told us but I can't remember. What I do remember is that they are almost extinct. |

| I think this is a pelican - he just gave me the creeps..... |
Next up -- bad hair day at the Safari Park!!!

Hi Whimsey Girl!
I believe they are named Okapi... or something close. I live in San Diego, and always took my sons to the zoo and wild animal park when they were little. We always stopped and watched these gentle animals that are a cross between zebra and another animal... My sons are teens now, so my memory is getting a little rusty! So glad you are enjoying San Diego :o)

WONDERFUL photos - before I read the comment from Valerie |I was going to suggest that they could be 'Ze-donks' due to the mixed markings :) Totally love the photos - keep 'em coming girl :)) Di xxx
NM is 2012 - still deciding on May or later such as August/Sept - I do promise to email ASAP chick!! Life is manic here and it's as much as I can do to try to seem a bit sane on my blog!!XXX
Wow what awesome photos. Yes I would think a tram ride through the zoo would be a little longer too. At least you got some terrific photos...and the baby elephant is precious!
I live in California but have never been to the SD Zoo. Although when I lived in New Mexico I use to take my oldest son (who's 29 now), when he was a baby, to the Albuquerque Zoo. He loved it.
Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Thanks for popping over at my blog and glad you enjoyed it - and did yours! and how about cute Tulip on post below! love it, Shaz in oz.x
Thanks for visiting my blog! I got to visit the SD Zoo 2 years ago and I was such a suck about the heat that I cheated and took the bus around the entire Zoo...lol!
