The <strong>Blank</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong>’s giraffe feeding deck is a<br />
chance like no other for our guests to see these<br />
amazing 17 foot, 2,500+ pound animals up<br />
close and personal. In 2009, over 30,000 people<br />
participated in this feeding experience.<br />
OBSERVE<br />
To provide visitors with exposure to a wider variety<br />
of living creatures, the <strong>Zoo</strong> hosted a bird show which<br />
featured a variety of species including eagles, macaws,<br />
falcons, cranes, storks, owls, ravens, parrots, and even a<br />
10-foot wingspan condor. The program was designed to<br />
educate <strong>Blank</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> guests about bird species and<br />
their status in the wild.<br />
Touch<br />
Over 40 <strong>Zoo</strong> animals are<br />
