A privately run park near Saguaro NP West, well worth visiting. Plan on spending 3 to 5 hours as there is allot to see including an aviary and wild Javalina's all over the place. Lots of educational displays about geology, mining, caves, volcanoes, etc. |
 |
The cages only include endemic animals with terrain and vegetation similar to their real habitat. The Coyote looked very healthy. |

Praire Dogs keeping watch. |
 |
The baby on the left also seems to be alert. |
 |
The beautiful Saguaro Cactus blooms were just beginning. |
 |
The pear cactus was also in bloom. One does not want to fall into one of these. |
 |
An impressive Big Horn Sheep. |

The mother Big Horn nursing her 2 week old baby. |

The baby was very agile entertaining the crowd with her acrobatics up and down the steep terrain. |

A dust devil was kicking up in the desert. |
