Cango Wildlife Ranch

Doing a bit of catching up.  These are also from our time spent in George.  This place was actually pretty close to the caves.

I loved the entrance!

My fearless son in the jaws of a saltwater crocodile.

I think that porcupines are so cute......

This next picture is disturbing and not recommended for children under 13.

A fruit bat and let me tell you they are huge, it looks small but it is not!!!  They were everywhere, pooping and peeing everywhere.  My friend had a fruit tree and had to get rid of it because of these things.

"When he was a young warthog....."

Pumbaa!!!!

This poor vulture is missing a wing.  I'm sure that the guide told us why but I wasn't listening.

This ranch was once home to a crocodile farm.  They still have crocs, just not a farm.

Don't go in the water!!!! (I took that line from Jaws).

You could actually get in a cage and swim with them.  I passed on that.

They are so, so much stronger in the water.

I used to think that hippos were so cute, brainwashed by that 

Hungry Hippo game as a child.  That was until I saw a documentary on the Discovery Channel.

Pygmy Hippos.  Cute huh? Read the Fast Fact below.

Extremely Aggressive and Dangerous.

Look at those teeth, why can't we see them while looking at a hippo?  It looks like the skull of a sabertooth tiger.

Again we are not listening to the guide.  We tried getting a picture with his head inside the bigger hippos mouth but one of the teeth fell out (we stuck it back in).

So pretty, my husband loves big cats.

They are very playful.

I hear that Johannesburg has a beautiful zoo.  Guess I'll have to see.......
