Out of Africa Wildlife Park
December 31, 2003

Mom and Dad told us about this great place in Scottsdale called Out of Africa Wildlife Park. They have something there called Tiger Splash, which apparently began as therapy for a tiger who had just undergone surgery. The tiger had so much fun, they turned the whole thing into a show for visitors. These adult tigers "play" with their human caregivers, running and jumping and swimming in the water. It's amazing! One of the employees got a little hurt at one point, when his tiger accidentally cut him with his claw as he fell down on him in the water. The rest of the park is filled with animals from all over the world. Lots of large mammals and birds and monkeys in particular. At least, those were the things that we were most drawn to.
