Tanganyika Park

Sunday morning we decided to try a new wildlife park on the west side of Wichita that just opened. The park has lots of potential but it was only about half open. But we had a great visit and got to see lots of cool things.
The favorite was the Lemurs. They had a island for the Lemurs. The Lemurs had a little bridge to get to there "house" and their was a gate on the bridge to make sure they stayed on the island. The park employee that let you in gave you a dried cranberry and told you not to pet the Lemurs. As soon as we sat in the right spot, they ran over from the house and literally took the cranberry our of you hands. They had these amazing little fingers. And they were not shy as you can see.


We also went into the Kangaroo pin. We had to stay on the sidewalk, but we got lucky and one of the kangaroos was lounging on the sidewalk. So we got to pet a kangaroo!

We fed the rabbits grass.

And we got to feed the Lories sugar water.
