zebras

On leaving Sutherlin to go to the Oregon Coast, stopped at Wildlife Safari Park in Winston, Oregon. It is an accredited, non-profit park that allows you to drive among animals from around the world. I enjoyed it and will probably go again when I’m back in the area.

Above, a herd of zebras were having a good time until a Watusi cow gave them a poke with her huge horns.
