Wild Animal Sanctuary


On the east side of Denver there is a place where injured wild carnivores are rehabilitated and live out the rest of their lives. They come here from all over the world. It's called the Wild Animal Sanctuary.




It was a perfect March day.







There is a mile of raised walkways from which you can observe the animals. I guess I didn't take a picture of those!

We saw cute little foxes...



Cheetahs...


Wolves...


Lions...


The previous pictures where of the very large natural enclosures for animals that have been there awhile. When animals first get there they have to adjust first. So they are put in small pens.




















The Three Musketeers!


The only thing that was a little strange was the hundreds of live ostriches in large enclosures next to the Nutrition Center. Since this place is only a sanctuary for carnivores there can only be one purpose for these birds...
