San Diego Zoo Safari Park

My new house is just 10-15 minutes from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (formerly called Wild Animal Park). Friend Pat (from Santa Cruz) is visiting for a few days while on her way to Baja and we had a free morning, so off we went to the Park. While walking by the chimpanzee area, a volunteer was telling us about their feeding times, and how the chimps have their places they sit while waiting for the trainer to throw them food. This young male sits up on a huge rock, catches tomatoes as they are thrown to him. They eat about 40 lbs. of vegetables each day. Today was tomatoes and celery day. They are offered a different veggie each day.
