I recieved this in the mail today....
Jackson N.J.- Six Flags Wild Safari celebrates the new year with the arrival of three new lion cubs and a bison calf. The new arrivals are the begining of a rebirth for the Wild Safari animal park.
The 350-acre safari is home to more than 1,200 animals from around the globe, including bison, elk, giraffes, bears, lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, antelopes, kangaroos and much more. The Wild Safari's staff continues to enhance the guest experience by introducing new offspring.
The arrival of the approximately 30-pound male bison marks the first birth of the Safari's 2006 season. Bison, commonly referred to as "buffalo", can be found in the Great Plains of the United States and Canada. Born with a reddish-brown coat, the male's appearance will eventually transform into a shaggy, dark brown coat like the rest of his ancestors. Since bison are readily accepted into their herds, the new calf already joined the rest of his family in the American section of the Safari.
Also joining the Safari are three new African lion cubs. The three fenale sisters range from five to 18 months of age, the largest already weighing approximately 225 pounds. A full grown female can eventually weigh up to 400 pounds. Since lions mainly reside in the wide open plains of Africa's heartland, the three new additions will join their pride in the African section of the Safari.
"It has been more than a decade since we introduced a lion cub, so this new addition is very significant to the Wild Safari," said the park's director Dr. Bill Rives. "These cubs mark the beginning of a new generation of lions and we anticipate more Safari births this year including yak, black bear, giraffe and eland."
Park guests can see these safari additions any operating day April 1 through October 29 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. . For more information visit www.sixflags.com
