Out of Africa Wildlife Park

I went to Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde, AZ, this week. In addition to this beautiful white tiger, I got to see lots of tigers, lions, giraffes, hyenas, and other predators. The most fun, though, was watching the tigers in the splash arena. In this large arena, with a pool, the staff allows the tigers to "play" in and out of the water. The
tigers are not trained, but allowed to follow their instincts for hunting and playing. The staff become the "prey."
All of the animals seem to be well-fed and in good health. The habitats are large and not too confining. Yet people can see the animals up close and personal.
Warmest regards, Gus
