This afternoon Erik and I drove down to New Braunfels to go to the African safari place next to Natural Bridge Caverns. I hadn't been there since probably 1995 or something when my family went.
It was so amazing! There were all kinds of wild deer-like things roaming around, bison, gazelles, wildebeasts, zebras, ostriches, and a number of other horned things I didn't know the names of. They hung out by the sides of the road, so it was really easy to drive up close and take pictures and feed them. I might try to get some of the better pictures up here soon.
The funnest part though was hanging out with the zebras. They liked to stick their heads in the car and see what we were up to. Erik and I had two bags of feed that we were giving to them, and at one point this zebra shoved its head into the car on Erik's side and grabbed his paper feedbag and got the heck outta there. It all happened so fast, and it was a little scary, but man was it awesome.
The ostriches were the creepiest though, which I remembered from my family's trip way back when when they stuck their heads in the window. This time, one got REALLY close to my open window and was eyeing me with those scary bird eyes like he wanted to peck my face off.
But yeah...keep an eye out for pictures! Hopefully soon!
