Going to make several trips out to get a feel for the facility, before dropping the cheese for a photographers tour. If you are remotely close, this is WELL worth the trip. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and know their animals and the story about each one of them. This is more of a rescue center, as most of these animals are retired from zoo life or even "oops" babies from zoo's.

Even from a regular tour, you can still get some pretty good pictures.

One cool thing about the lions......they are great when prompted by the trained tour guides, pretty much on command they can roar.....which is an AMAZING experience when you are 10 feet from 5 of them laying on the ground. :lol:
