It's a Jungle Out There!

We spent our last Friday before starting working at the Wild Animal Park in Escondido. It is kind of like a zoo, but the animal are more in their 'natural habitat' than you may see in a zoo.
It originally started because the zoo was having a hard time breeding rhinos, so they bought some land in Escondido and opened the park initially to work on the rhino program. They now have a couple rhinos which may be 2 of only 7 left in the world! The Northern White Rhino. Pretty cool!
It is very hilly in Escondido. Looking down over the park is beautiful!
From a distance, Josh thought this giraffe was real and couldn't understand why everyone wasn't gathered around the giraffe with his head over the fence!
I love this picture! You can see the lions in the background. (You can't see the piece of glass between Josh and them!)Does anyone have any idea what kind of plant this is? Because we have one on our patio (much smaller version) that the last owner left, and I'd really like to know how to take care of it. It's beautiful, but I don't know what it is!!
I love parrots! They look so intelligent!The gorillas were HILARIOUS! This guy kept running around beating his chest and chasing the other gorillas.
