The Big Hearted: Wild Animal Park

San Diego Wild Animal Park is filled with amazing animals and the Wild Animal Park developers took care to make their habitats closely related to their natural environments. The Wild Animal Park is one of my favorite places to photograph at for various reason. There habitats are opened and that makes photographing them much easier, since there isn’t a need to photograph through class or fences, except for a few. The staff that do the shows are kind and happily smile for the camera and will be glad to answer any of your questions after the show. Furthermore, they have a lot of educational services to check out and learn about the animals and ways we can help to make sure they will survive for generations to come.

Its renowned botanical collection represents 3,500 species and 1.5 million specimens. Over half of the Park’s 1,800 acres (730 hectares) have been set aside as protected native species habitat. It is located 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of downtown San Diego in the San Pasqual Valley near Escondido, California.
