Xavier 2nd year old at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center



On 12 Oct, which is Xavier's actual birthday we get to go to an awesome wildlife center not too far from us that we can drive around and feed all the animals!

"Fossil Rim Wildlife Center @ Glen Rose"

We left early morning and drove 1.5hours to get there

It was well worth it

Feeding the animals out of our hands was so much fun

 Definitely a memory maker!

Camwhoring along the journey


Start of our adventure:
Bought our entrance tickets and a bag of food to feed the animals for $44

This is the fallow deer
At first, Xavier was a little skeptical about feeding them
but after the first try
He can't stop

Xavier kept calling the deer to come... but the deer just kept a distance from our car

"so disappointing"

The animals come right up to the car and stick their heads inside with no fear whatsoever.  we, on the other hand, eek!

This is the Blesbok

This is Bontebok

Axis Deer

The Zebras were really hungry so their noses were in our car looking for food

This is Aoudads (African Wild Sheep) - the one I most afraid of...
they will stuck their head all the way in to get food
super aggressive!!!!

Half way there was a place to get out, stretch and have our packed lunch

After resting for 30mins, we continued our adventure

Xavier trying to find animals by using his imaginary binocular LOL

Xavier was intimidated by this deer and kept asking it to "go away"

Finally spotted the giraffe, getting ready for the feed

See the numbers of car queuing

Unfortunately they were full by the time we got there so they didn't come up to our car
Super disappointing

 The rhinos and the cheetahs were behind fences, but still really cool to see

Ended our day with
