Swipe⏩ for KEWT animals!! I had the privilege of visiting the San Diego Safari Park rehabilitation & conservatory yesterday! This Non-Profit Preserve is 1,800 acres of wildlife sanctuary to over 2,600 animals & over 300 species, many who are on the endangered list. It also allows indigenous California wildlife to eat & live, or just pass through the preserve, as a beautifully balanced environment. Not only does the park care for animals, but it’s also a registered botanical garden with 1.75 million plant species! Which helps the bee population! They’re all about animal rehabilitation & repopulation. The way they operate allows great candidate animals to be released back into their native habitats. Totally one of my dream jobs! Check out the video of Amara, the Cheetah & her support companion, Hopper! Yes, she has her own service dog! Cheetahs are naturally anxious, but Hopper makes Amara feel safe.♥️ She is the world’s fastest land animal who can go from Zero to 60mph in 3.4 seconds, faster than any car, & from zero to 40mph in THREE STRIDES! It was truly amazing to see her run. Such a gorgeous & vigorous Queen! I also got to be a part of the free-flight bird show in the aviary amphitheater where a Toco Toucan hopped across my arms! I also met a meerkat, & a Savannah Monitor Lizard named Rosemary, & a Serval named Bella! It was all such an incredible experience! https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSEdW1haEqYeOZvsgihqEkCKgfVGmTzlIEYiI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pq8ckm0s9853 -- source link
