Today at Wild Things

Morning time is always a great time to greet the animals and to prepare for the day. We have a busy schedule today with the walking tour schedule, the tram ride schedule and the private 'swim with the tigers' schedule. The first task at hand though, is to feed/water and clean the animals and their habitat and to greet them preparing them for their encounters with the people coming to see them.

One example is Ozzy the ostrich, who loves to flutter his wings, dance foot loose and smile to his handler as his morning wake up call. This preparation enables Ozzy to 'act like a ham' even though his ostrich stature says otherwise. The tour guide knows Ozzy is ready to greet the crowd with his 'Big Bird' picturesque presence. Thrilling to watch, captivated by a huge smile.

We are thrilled to be able to show our human friendly animals to the public as both are rewarded with each others company!
