We went to the Living Desert Museum today. It had been recommended to me by a professional photographer I met in AZ. Nice way to spend a beautiful day. It was 85 degrees, but they had the misters on. They have a huge miniature train setup. It was at least 1/4 of an acre. It takes 25 volunteers to keep it up.
The view below is suppose to be the Grand Canyon. They have made little towns and scenes thru out the whole area.
This is the best shot I coud get of this Ankole cow. It is from Africa. Each horn can weigh up to 5-10 lbs and be 5' long. WOW! Never seen any cattle with this big of horns. Most of them had a hard time keeping their heads even. Most of the time one side was lower than the other because each horn is so heavy. As many zoos I have gone to, I've seen this.
This African wolf only weighs 3 1/2 pounds. it is full grown
This is an armadillo. Never seen one up close and personal. The skin felt like fingernails, but more flexible. The triangle in the middle is the head. The narrow triangle to the right is the tail.
They had a wild animal carousel. They had lots of kids exhibits and things for them to do and see.
Somehow this overview of the trains got out of order.
