Greetings
At
Fossil Rim we are gearing up for Spring Break. If you
are planning on joining us, please see “How
to enjoy your Spring Break visit” If you come during
February you can spend some quality time with the animals
on the drive through. Dress for the weather and enjoy
taking your time viewing, feeding and taking a multitude
of photographs of some of the world’s endangered
species. Halfway through the drive take the time to sip
hot chocolate with a Ruben,
Philly Steak, Grilled Veggie,
or one of the other tasty sandwiches from the Overlook
Café.
Or
for a little something different, take advantage of this “Wildlife
W@tch” subscribers only 10%
off tour. Coupon is
good through February.

To
say that Fossil Rim's Maned Wolf, Pebbles, is an
endangered species is an understatement. The species once
thrived, ranging
over
much of South America. Now, thanks to the rapid conversion
of grassland to agricultural production, the Maned Wolf has
lost much of its habitat. It’s become a rare sight
indeed! There are fewer than 75 Maned Wolves living in North
America today. By making
a donation, you can help us to help Pebbles
raise her next litter of pups, and light one candle in the
darkness against the extinction of the Maned Wolf! Find
out how your donation can help the Maned Wolf

Update
on Our 'Miracle' Cheetahs
Cinnabar
and her cubs are doing GREAT. She now has
all five of the little ones eating meat twice a day.
When the food comes, she will “chirrup” for
her babies to come to her. continued |

A
Valentine Blessing
by Cassie Peterson, Animal Care Specialist
This
is Valentino, a two year old backbuck who resides in
the Buffer Pasture (the small, second pasture you encounter
on the drive through). Our best guess is that he was
born on Valentine ’s Day of 2005. continued
