Wandering Wednesday - Animal Ark

 One of the side trips we took on our Lake Tahoe trip was to drive a bit north of Reno to check out the Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary.  It was well worth the drive.

It was quite dry out there, and the trees were beautifully bare. Turns out there was a terrible fire nearby in 1999, and the land is still recovering ten years later. 

We saw so many animals (tiger, wolf, bobcat, cheetah, etc.), but I didn't take a ton of pictures except for of this bear. Very personable.

 Famous for playing tetherball, it was almost too much to believe until you saw it yourself.

 We were a little hot walking around, but it wasn't unbearable (haha)
