Greetings
from Dr. Patrick Condy
Executive Director of Fossil
Rim
Great
Things to Come in 2007 at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center
I’d
like to welcome you, our valued subscriber into the New
Year here at Fossil Rim. I get that feeling in my bones
that it’s going to be a very significant year for
Fossil Rim in many ways. continued

Miracle
of a Cheetah’s Heart
At
Fossil Rim we don’t take the word “miracle” lightly. Sometimes
the laws of the wild are immutable and would seem to
be cruel; however, on occasion, those harsh laws can
be suspended at a Cheetah’s discretion out of
compassion for an orphan cub. continued |
|
|
| *If
you would like to make
a donation to help Cinnabar and her adopted
cubs we will send you exclusive notes and photos on
the cubs' progress. |
