Safari Park

My first outing in 3 months, and it was wonderful.  We used our annual passes for a few hours at the Safari Park:

We learned it’s very rare for a giraffe to lie down… they have the highest blood pressure of all animals, so they get headaches if they lie down.  Also, cheetahs sleep for 20 hours/day and giraffes sleep for 20 minutes a day.
