Wildlife

Our friends parents deliver hay to a wildlife refuge in Durahm about 30 min away and they got us a personal tour of all the animals. THey start in the reptile house and tell you about them and you get to touch them. Above is Kasen and I with the bearded dragon and below is Tayla and Julia with a lizard whos exact name escapes me.

This is an albino ball python that was about 9 feet long and can get upto 25 feet long. I passed on touching that one!

THis is a lion and of course when we were supposed to be watching the lizards he was walking around and roaring but when we were looking at him, he was napping. They do sleep 19-22 hours a day though. He was really this close to us (about 6 feet and 2 fences).
This mountain lion can be found around here. She's pretty scary. We also saw a liger (yes liger not tiger), white tigers, panthers, birds, dear, and lots more. If you are in the area, I really reccomned a trip by.
