Around Town: Wildlife Park

The spring is a great time to be out and about in the Phoenix area. Cool mornings turn into "just right" warm days, lending to cool and calm evenings. Cacti are in bloom, as well as the rest of the desert's unique vegetation. What better time to check out the wildlife at the zoo?!

We visited the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium in the West Valley with a few kiddos, and were not disappointed. The zoo boasts over 600 species, including several interactive exhibits. The animals were very active during our visit, and we learned a thing or two from the live "Encounters" presentations.

A few photos of the zoo's inhabitants are sure to make you smile:

Many animals were brought in with injuries that prevent them from surviving in the wild.

Llamas and Alpacas... I always get them confused!

We were up close and personal with the big cats, and just missed a photo op. with the new White Tiger.

This guy's neighbor didn't finish her breakfast... waste not!

One of our favorite stops was being able to walk inside the tortoise exhibit with them!
