Arabian Oryx
Many Arabian oryx have been reintroduced in Oman and Jordan after being extinct in the wild.
Bald Eagle
Bald eagles like a diet high in fish; thus, it makes sense that they would make their home near the water.
Bighorn Sheep
Bighorn sheep have incredible climbing abilities, impressive horns, and the ability to survive in some of the world's most hazardous environments.
Burrowing Owl
Burrowing owls build their nests in abandoned prairie dog tunnels or rattlesnake dens instead of the tree hollow most owls choose as their home.
Butterflies
Butterflies go through three life stages—larval, pupal, and adult. Their extraordinary eyes, which contain thousands of lenses, can detect ultraviolet light, and identify blooms.
California Condor
Indigenous communities across North America revere the California condor as a powerful symbol. According to folklore, its vast wingspan causes thunder to roll over the sky whenever it flies.
Camel
A camel can match the speed of a horse, and it can go for incomparably long stretches without needing to eat or drink.
Cheetah
Cheetahs, the world's fastest cats, are skinny and long. Because of their built-in ability to sprint over short distances, they can seize prey that might otherwise elude other large cats.
Coati
Observing coaties go about their day gives new meaning to the expression "living in the moment." The experts caring for the animals at the Safari Park use this feature by strategically concealing treats for the animals' discovery.
Crowned Crane
The crowned crane is a large bird with a "crown" of stiff, golden feathers that add to its regal appearance. Predators in the thick savanna grasses are no match for their long legs, neck, and exceptional peripheral eyesight.
Dik Dik
Adult dik-diks, a species of African antelope, weigh just 6 to 13 pounds. Their alarm calls are the source of their unique moniker.
Duiker
Duikers are secretive and difficult to spot. Because duikers frequently dive into dense underbrush for food, they were given the Afrikaans/Dutch word for "diver" or "diving buck."
Egyptian Vulture
The Egyptian vulture is among the small number of tool-using animal species. This intelligent bird can pick out the ideal-sized pebble to put on an ostrich egg, causing it to split open and quickly gulp out what's inside.
Elephant
Traveling to Africa is one option, but seeing African elephants up close and personal is really easy at the Safari Park!
Flamingo
Three of the six flamingo species are found in the Safari Park, also home to the biggest population of larger flamingos in North America.

The gorilla is the largest primate, even larger than monkeys, apes, lemurs, ape-like simian-like apes, chimpanzees.
Greater One-Horned Rhino

Hamerkop
