Papanack Animal Park Zoo. MILLIONS of pics :)

[kingrattus]

Before u say anything bad about this zoo, please understand WHY it is here.

Most of these animals were at a zoo in Sudbury. The SPCA closed them down for animal curlity & neglect. Papanack was origional just breeding a few exotics (for good purposes, NOT as pets) & took all these poor animals in.

They are still working on making the homes for the animals larger & larger & better & better. But thay r only 1 family doing their best for these rescued animals.

Some of the animals r horribly SCREWED UP (mentaly) from their old homes. Several keep pacing back & forth ALL day long, esp. the timber wolf. Rob & I felt so bad for the poor guy, but we knew that papanack did the right thing on taking him in, poor guy.

ok well I took 141 pics & lost 2 some how :( They were of the HUGE White Swans Walking.

OK so on with the pics !!

This is Neptune. He is a 300 pound 2 year old Male. The trainer put some meat on the fence so he would charge the fence & jump up 12 feet (its 12 feet with his head) to get the meat. She said it was an important excersize to help develop his dexterity (which he was poor in), he missed the meat alot of the time.

There was about 10 Ring Tailed Leamers & a couple of bunnies on the island. The island is far so I'll show some thumbnails of closeups of the cute little guys.

The red foxes pen was in a barn type thing & far from the fence line so he came out very blury, but u can still tell he was cute.

This is a female wolf pup. When she gets older & the other 2 timber wolfe adults accept her the 2 pens will be open up to eachother. But until then she is safe in her pen alone.

I wish this one turned out better, she finally opened her eyes from sleeping & looked at me. Her eyes were a stunning baby blue. They reminded me of Nebo's eyes.

Not sure if I should tell the story of this Baboon, but I'm gonna anyway. Ok here it goes. This mother was telling her kid to mimic his voice. SO duh, the 3 year old did so (this was against the rules, I tried to say this loud enough to get the mother to stop this, but she ignored me). Well I guess this sound the Baboon was making was a matting call, can u tell where this is going yet?? Well lets just say the baboon got ummm errr, excited in his pants. SO I WILL not show a close up of him. I think all will agree with that. But he was a very pretty baboon, nice long fur.
