SAN DIEGO ZOO'S WILD ANIMAL PARK
What makes the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park so unique are
the large field exhibits which enable the animals to roam freely. The
Wgasa Bush Line Railway, a 60-minute electric monorail ride, allows
visitors to observe the animals in their natural habitat.
Herds of elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and antelope are among the
hundreds of animals you can see roaming the scenic rolling
landscape of East and North Africa, the Asian Plains, a Eurasian
Waterhole, South Africa, and the Mongolian Steppe. www.
