Tigers,Pandas,and Wolves Oh my!!!

All that we did that morning was drive to the Victory and  we picked up the other familly.{ There was a eight year girl named Annie that saved me from bordum} We had to drive for about an hour to get to the safari Park.  

When we got there we waited a long, long, long,{long} time while Helen bought our tickets.  Then, we walked by the pelicans which I ran to see.  We waited in line for the "Safari on Wheels" where we were able to see a bunch of animals.  We saw deer, yaks, rams, camels, tigers, elephants, gazels, wolves, white tigers, golden tigers, regular tigers, giraffes, emus, zebras, and Mommy!

After we finished the "Safari on Wheels" we walked around for a while.  We saw pandas, red pandas (firefoxes), and elephants.  I fed tigers with a bucket of meat and elephants with some bananas.  I would throw the bananas to the elephants who would eat them whole! 

One of the most interesting things about the park is that half of the world's population of white tigers lives in the Guangzhou Safari Park, about 150.  They have a very successful tiger breeding program and we got to see a bunch of tiger cubs of various ages.

Inside the safari park is an amusement park.  My friend, Annie, and I took Johnathan on a merry-go-round.  It was his first time.  He loved it!  Afterwards, Annie and I took a ride in the park that pulls you up and drops you down.  When I got off, I swore I would not do a ride like that again, until I'm a man.



We left the amusement park and headed towards the exit to the safari park.  As we were leaving we passed a river full of fish.  There were also monkies fishing in the river, but I missed them because I was amazed at all of the fish.  We hopped in the van and headed back to our hotel after an exciting day!
