This is a major reason that my wife and I choose to support Lion Country Safari, WPB. The fact that there is a second chance for critters, who otherwise would be without a second chance.
Shot this image yesterday as we entered the park. These two males were dancing (mating dance) on the island in
Safariland. It was a quick shot and not the best setting, shot at 350mm, but it was a quick grab and had to crop to about 25% of original. (It which was my wife's first experience with it, though I had told her about seeing it in mass on the Platte River during spring migration a few years ago.) I wanted to catch them doing the dance. It wasn't until I got home and could view it on the monitor that the nature of the image struck me.
Some believe that we should not support wildlife parks and zoos, but they support the wildlife, as that is their basis for being in business. We believe that LCS is a good samaritan of wildlife and the fact that these and many other birds could not survive in the wild, but are cared for is very much appreciated.
Hope you get a chance to visit sometime. Hope you find the desire to support them and others who really care about the environment and man's affect on it and the critters that share it with us.
