Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch

Bought a Groupon for this place called Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch and happened to see that they were open on Easter Sunday. After standing room only church, we packed a cooler and headed about 45 minutes north to Pilot Point, Texas, and spent a gorgeous day at this wonderful place! Lemurs and zonkeys and bears! Oh my!

The kids looked at animal exhibits for kangaroos, lemurs, macaws, and black bears; and fed goats and pigs and other critters at the petting zoo.

We rode a safari tram through the horse, zebra and donkey pasture where we also saw a zonkey (zebra/donkey mix - see below) and a zorse (zebra/horse mix).

Then we hit the second pasture with emu, deer, wild pigs, guanacos (humpless camels) and more. The third pasture were all giant camels!

Do you see the two baby lemurs? 

We had an amazing lunch of wood-fired pizza in their new restaurant. It was really, really good pizza and kids chowed down, even though it wasn't a perfect circle of cheese from Papa John's. It was a terrific Easter and family day!
