Fossil Rim Wildlife Center

So this last Saturday I had the chance to go to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. This place is a lot of fun! So to describe what it is, I will call it a "drive-through zoo!". So this is what happens, you drive though a large park, with various animals, that will come right up to your car! At the beginning you have the oppurtunity to purchase a bag of food so you can feed the animals. This is an exciting alternative to your regular Zoo. You have to be careful though, because these animals are not shy! They will stick their head in you car as quick as they get to the window. Staff will tell you, when you get the food, not to feed them from your hand. That is really hard! When your hand reaches in the bag those faces are right next to yours when you turn around. The animals know where the food comes from and they are right inside your window waiting for you to offer it to them! Bring wipes for your hands and be ready to get slobered on!
