Tuttle America's Tiger Safari

We finally made it to the Tiger Safari in Tuttle this past Saturday. It was an early celebration for JC's birthday with Margaret & Richard. Cait was ready to wave "hi" to some animals! There were lots of pretty birds and several of the spoke to us!


I'll be honest, I was surprised at what a great park it was! We spent two hours looking at, feeding and even holding animals {well, some of us}. Below, you can see Cameron feeding animal crackers to deer and JC wrestling Godzilla. Really. That's his name.




JC also played peek-a-boo with these cute lemurs. It was delightful to watch! The tigers were amazing. I can't recall but there were maybe 7 of them. Maybe more. The youngest was around one. It was hot so most of them just laid around but a couple came up to the fence to great us. Or just to pee.


Aren't my boys so cute?! And we learned that Brendan is a bear whisperer. Who knew?! He talked to this great big grizzly bear and it responded to him by standing up, slapping the fence, sticking his nose through the fence and snorting. We're glad he didn't charge Brendan. He seemed a little scary.



And here are MY wild animals...



Here's one of the pretty white tigers. You can actually see this guy from the parking lot when you arrive and then again near the end of the tour.


The last thing before going into the office area was their feeding area. We were able to feed goat or two, a pig, some llamas. The llama spit on Margaret. She didn't think it was funny. They were aggressive little eaters though.



Inside, Cameron & JC held the California King snake.


And I forgot to mention, they brought out a covered, 8 seater golf cart for us to drive around the park. That was nice because it was a hot, sun-shiny day! We had such a great day. I think we would all recommend this outing!

WOW! We did have a great time! I had forgotten how horrible Godzilla really was!!!!!!!!!! The picture of Brendan and the bear is priceless. An amazing thing to see the two of them interacting.
