San Diego Wild Animal Park

by chris cunningham

Lion, a tiger, no bears. Oh my. My feet hurt. It’s probably been 30 years since I went to the Wild Animal Park on a yellow bus with my elementary school. I remember thinking the animals were so far away. I think it’s changed a lot because I also don’t remember walking that much. I’m pretty lazy but it’s obviously expanded beyond the tram ride. Anyway, the animals were very cooperative in getting their portraits taken today. The gorilla was a little shy but the pelican was hamming it up. The scariest thing there are the catfish that have grown to the size of humpback whales thanks to the amount of food they’re given. They steal the food from the ducks. I am once again reminded that most animals smell bad. On the way out we passed some women [LINK] that need a hairdressing intervention. That poor guy with them must just keep his mouth shut so that the lions don’t attack.
