Drive-thru Safari-
The drive-thru safari would be on a safari truck. Visitors would get a bucket of feed and see unique antelope, deer, rhinos, and many other animals.
The first part would be India. Visitors would see Indian temples, Buddhas, and other Indian art as they drove through the winding roads. They may encounter-
Indian rhino
Sumatran rhino
Axis deer
Blackbuck
Nilgai
Barasingha deer
Peafowl
Chiru
Chousingha
Asian elephant
India would be 65 acres. The elephants would have 40 acres. The elephants would be in a pen, instead of free-roaming through the India area.
Hindu temples and elephant sculptures would give way to Kenyan mats and huts as East Africa would be entered.
Visitors would be able to see many antelope and other herbivores from African savannas, like-
Giraffe (Baringo, Masai and reticulated)
African elephant (40 acres out of 65 acres)
Black rhino
White rhino
Grant's zebra
Grevy's zebra
Ostrich
Slender-horned gazelle
Suni
Topi
African white-backed vultures (in pens)
Greater kudu
Gemsbok
Giant eland
African music would play from speakers as the safari truck would wind through a replication of Africa. The grasslands would turn to sand as the trucks would enter the African Desert zone.
African Desert would have many sand dunes mimicking the natural habitat of the Sahara with-
Dama gazelle
Barbary deer
Dromedary camel
Addax
Scimitar-horned oryx
Arabian oryx
It would be 25 acres, a bridge between African grasslands and hills of the Ethiopian zone. A rocky habitat for Barbary macaques (a 5-acre macaque pen) would round out the African desert area.
Ethiopian Highlands-
5 acres for Ethiopian wolves, Ethiopian flags and decorations, 10 acres for geladas, Walia ibex and Nubian ibex, would make up this 17-acre zone. The visitors would be enthralled seeing unique baboons and ibex not found in many zoos.
Europe-
Replicas of the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and other buildings in Europe would dominate the 54-acre landscape, with chamois, Alpine ibex, hundreds of fallow deer, and of course, European charm! Visitors would then cross "the Atlantic" (a pond on a bridge), to bison and elk.
North America- Home on the Range-
30 acres of winding, waving prairie grass would be home to bison, elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and pronghorn, with water features, hills, trees, swamps, ponds, and other varying terrain. Visitors would travel the land where the "deer and the pronghorns play."
and where the "bison roam". A frog-filled marsh, some alligators, and an outdoor bird of prey aviary would feature more North American wildlife. Covered wagons and other pioneer decorations would embellish this area.
South America-
45 acres of hoofstock! Llamas, alpacas, and guanacos in large herds would saunter their way across the acreage. There would also be rheas, capybaras, giant anteaters, and maned wolves in pens. There would be forests, grasslands, water features, and a glimpse of the jaguar exhibit in the walk-through part. Visitors would cross the "Atlantic" one more time. Rainforest huts and various signs and decorations giving visitors a glimpse of South America would round out this part of the park.
Australia-
The Land Down Under!
45 acres of kangaroos! Reds, grays, as well as Bennett's, Parma, swamp, tammar, and yellow-footed rock wallabies. There would also be emus and a 5-acre aviary for 10 types of lorikeet and lory, budgies, and New Zealand keas. Of course, it wouldn't be Australian without Aboriginal dot art and other Australian decorations, including "Tjundiparra", a ghost town. In the distance visitors would see sheep.... leading them to the next part- Old McDonald Had a World!
Old McDonald Had a World!-
The Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia would be the 6 continents represented in this barnyard drive-thru portion.
The Americas would have the classic red barn and covered wagons with Holstein cattle and draft horses, as well as chickens scratching in the 5-acre land. There would also be South American decorations in the 4-acre domestic llama and alpaca paddock. Europe would also be 5 acres, with European-style decorations, with Icelandic and Belgian horses, Soay sheep, and Gloucester Old Spot pigs, as well as a herd of reindeer and some Poitou donkeys.
Africa would be 12 acres, with herds of Watusi cattle, Abyssinian donkeys, African sheep, pygmy goats, guineafowl, and domestic dromedaries.
Asia would be 11 acres, with Kundhi, Malaysian, and Nili-Ravi water buffalo, Bactrian camels, yak, karakul sheep, and elephants that would rotate to show domestication of elephants in Asia.
Australia would be the last, with 5 acres. There would be Merino sheep and Australian water buffalo, as well as European rabbits and cane toads viewed from the safari trucks.
Next up is the walk-through!
