Welcome
to Spring Break Month at Fossil Rim. This is a wonderful
time of the year. This year we’re doing
something a little different. Our Lodge
and Foothills Safari camp is running a Spring
Break Special March
9th through March 17th. Bring the kids down and
make it an overnight outing the entire family can
enjoy.

of his latest experiences from Sumatra.
You
may remember reading reports over the last couple
of
years from Dr. Robin Radcliffe.
He is still hard at work and still
in touch. Here is a report on one of his latest
achievements. continued |

Fossil
Rim’s Children’s Animal Center
A
favorite place for Spring Break visitors has always
been our Children’s Animal Center. Come join
the fun during March and visit with some of the animals
at Fossil Rim that will likely let you get up close
and personal. continued

An
inspiring note from: Mackenzie Snyder, RVT
(Registered Veterinary Technician)
We
are pleased to issue a tremendous “thank
you” to Engler Engineering Company
for their generous donation of a dental scaler
and polisher valued at $2,395. This is something
that will be a huge asset to our carnivores. This
machine is used to clean tartar build up off their
teeth; it is the same type of machine your vet
would use on your animals. This gives us another
way to provide more thorough health care for these
special carnivores. |

Q: Why
do I not see wolves on the drive-through?
A: Our
three species of wolves, part of our cheetahs, Black
rhinos, and Attwater’s Prairie Chickens all
reside in a special section of Fossil Rim known as
the Intensive Management Area. This area is separate
from the public drive-through and these animals are
all in safe enclosures. Our wolves have 2 acres per
pair to call home, plenty of room to run and hide
when they desire.
We
house three species of wolves at Fossil Rim: the
Mexican Gray Wolf, the wolf of the American Southwest;
the Red Wolf, the wolf of the American Southeast;
and Maned Wolves from South America.
The
only current possibility of viewing these animals
is by taking one of our “Behind the Scenes” tours.
On these you will be escorted by one of our trained
guides who will inform you about some of our more
secluded animals and our care of them. |
