In Wildlife Safari, Oregon, visitors can drive through the preserve to see native and exotic animals. This emu actually walked up to the car window. It was terrifying. These birds are enormous, and its red eyes looked very angry. Fortunately, we escaped with our lives and later saw American bison, a brown bear snoozing, lions, camels, and paid an outrageous price for an elephant to wash my car.

My hope is to return someday.
