New Additions to the Safari West Animal Family!
On July 11, 2008, Our two Southern White Rhinos were released into their brand new enclosure after traveling cross-country from Florida. They're so surprisingly light on their feet, we began to nickname them...Fred and Ginger! The pair of five year old Southern White Rhinoceroses pranced around in excitement as soon as they touched ground. After the male explored the entire enclosure and gave it his "stamp" of approval, the animal team at Safari West released the female. Fred hovered protectively nearby during her release and then the two of them explored their new home together. The pair are happily settling in to their new home!

Rhinos are odd-toed ungulates and mega-herbivores. Keep watching our Safari West Animals page for more information on these interesting animals!

See video of the release by John Burgess of the Press Democrat.

Welcome to a little leaping lemur!

Safari West welcomes a bouncing baby Ring Tailed Lemur who was born on June 24, 2008. Mother and baby are doing fine. The lemur family on the Isle of Lemur is having fun playing with the new baby now that mom is letting the little one climb around on her back a little more.

And the Winner is...!
