A Day With The Wildlife

Me and Joy went on a day trip down to Co. Cork one day and spent some time at the Fota Wildlife Park near the town of Cobh, here is a video of some of the awesome animals we saw while we were there... not just from the other side of a fence but some animals you really do get to see up close and personal. It's a great place to spend the day (or weekend if you want, as there is a hotel / resort and golf course also on Fota Island) when the weather is good, have a picnic and of course see the Wildlife. We were just there for the day then drove back to Waterford.

There's also some footage near the end of the "Cheetah Run" done everyday at 4pm where they make the Cheetah's work to get their dinner, this is to keep the Cheetah's fit and active else if they just gave them their dinner they might get lazy.

i live next to fota and the reason the geraffs dont step over the fence is because its a zoo, they are tamed. common sense..

Ah but still it's a wonder they don't get bored, see other animals running free and think... "I wonder what it's like at the other end of the park", haha

Thanks for sharing your trip to the FotaWildlife park, Franklin. :-) It looks like Joy had a wonderful time with the animals. 2:20 - Hahahaha! Love the monkeys crossing on the bridge. It's amazing you were able to get so up close and personal to that kangaroo. Poor cheetah... had to run to get its food. Hahahaha! I'm so lucky to be able to get a rare look at the elusive, nocturnal Mokong! First aminal I've seen with shades. OH! And it also says "Rock On!" :-) 5 stars!!! X-D X-D X-D
