Animals from Africa and Asia came to campus May 6 as part of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park Tour, bringing their trainers with them to talk about each creature and share the news of the May 24 opening of the park’s Tiger Trail habitat.
A crowd of about 1,000 children and adults came to the exhibit to see:
• A cheetah named Shiley
• An Anatolian shepherd dog named Yeti
• A serval named Bella
• A Eurasian Eagle owl named Julio, and
• A Burmese python named Julius Squeezer.
This is the second annual visit by the San Diego Zoo, which last year came to Loma Linda University Health in promotion of the Conrad Prebys Australian Outback exhibit.
