Wild Animal Park

Today we went to Wild Animal Park. It was overcast and a little cool so we thought the place would not be too crowded. It wasn't. This park is actually part of San Diego zoo and the ticket for one place is valid for another provided you can make it in one day. The place is a lot like a zoo. We saw a baby elephant who was born on Valentine day (guess his name).

We also took a ride in a train through "savannah" with wild beasts, mainly all kinds of antelopes and giraffes.

The park features balloon rides but we didn't ride a balloon.

And of course we made a new friend who insisted we took his picture before we went.

We had a great time.

You know--seeing all these animals in the Wild Animal Park made me think about something I read recently in a book called "The Sixth Extinction" by Richard Leakey.

"...we recognize that humans are but a brief moment in a continuous flow of life, not its end point."

All of us animals have changed over ages of time to arrive at this moment--and most of the creative experiments with life made by the millions of organisms on this planet have gone extinct.

We may be headed that way ourselves--and we may be driving the hearse. TW
