No, it's a zedonk. Yes, that is the real name of this animal. It has stripes like a zebra, but the gray coloring (instead of white) and size of a donkey. It was fascinating. So were some of the other "exotic" animals at The Camel Farm in Yuma. We enjoyed our Sunday with Robert walking through the park of animals, most of which we had never seen. It was all a little rustic, but we had a blast!! Collin loved running from one animal to the next with his cup of alfalfa cubes. He wasn't completely sure what he thought about the animals eating out of his hand. He thought it was better to just throw them into the pens.
We saw an ostrich, a coati, different types of goats, sheep, deer, and of course camels. It is supposed to be home to the largest herd of camels in the United States. I'm guessing there aren't too many camels in the US considering there were only about 10 at this park. All the same, just one would have been more camels than any of us had ever seen. While I know it won't always be so easy, right now keeping Collin entertained and squeaking out quality family time is a breeze. $13 and a little over an hour and he was a happy boy, and we were happy parents.
