Today we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bearizona. It's 2 miles of road which takes you through various other 'hard to find' animals followed by a walk-through area for mostly younger animals. We highly recommend this attraction!
This is a Kestral Falcon
And this fella is a Eurasian Eagle Owl. We were treated to a showcase of these 3 birds - 2 out of three of them flapped along my hair as they flew over the audience.
Another look at the Eurasian Eagle Owl - this pic looks great enlarged - click on it to see!
Look just about the O in Bearizona and you'll see the Harris Hawk about to flap over my head.
For the drive-thru part of our adventure we saw burros, white bison, wolves, mountain goats, big horn sheep & black bears. We were allowed to have our windows down for each area except for the wolves and bears. It was VERY tempting to lower them for the sake of the photo but we behaved. You'll notice that the grown bears and wolves may appear a little fuzzy because of the window...
This is the view taken through the window and at the side view mirror... Yup, that close! One of these wolves was quite interested in something on the rear tire and stuck his head into the wheel well for a prolonged closer look.
For our walk through area we saw swift fox, skunk, arctic wolves, an Alaskan tundra wolf, baby raccoons, a beaver, bear cubs, bobcat, Canadian lynx, Javelina and in the petting zoo area we saw bunnies, guinea pigs, goats, a 12 week old bison, ponies, chickens, pigs (big and little) and a goose.
There were 2 of these little porkers to pet - Scott named them Bacon & Bits. Together, they're "Bacon Bits".
