Fota Wild Park

Today on our trip we had the pleasure of going to Fota Wild Park.  It had tons of animals that were endangered and that I had never seen before.  Fota is also known for not having many visible fences.  They even have Kangaroos, Lemurs, Peacocks, and many Chickens/Roosters that are able to roam free in the park.  I had never been to a park that was like this.  It was a little intimidating to see a full grown kangaroo jumping towards me.

They also had many types of monkeys and giraffes that were caged.

But my favorite part of the park was that they had at least 10 cheetahs.  They had a cheetah cub that was born last September.

Not only were the cheetahs my favorite animal in the park, we also got to see them feed 3 cheetahs.  They had a large zip line with a rope dangling from it, that they would attach food to, and the cheetahs would chase after it and the one who knocked off the food would get to eat.  It was amazing to see how fast they were running, even though it wasn't even close to their potential top speed.

Also one of my friends had brought a banana along and when we saw the lemurs he pulled it out of his pocket and a pack of lemurs started to climb him for the lemur.  It was cool but also hilarious to see him being climbed by two lemurs.
