Sharkaros Wildlife Ranch

Our Saturday outing took us to Sharkaros Animal Ranch. This is a modest ranch out near Pilot Point - about 30 minutes from our house. The ranch contains a number of exotic animals, including zebra, lemurs, kangaroos, albino kangaroos, wallaroos, wallabies, camels, and a few other oddballs like a Zedonk.

We ate lunch at the park in a pavilion and went on both tours they offered. One was a barrel train ride, the other a safari wagon. The safari ride was great because the wagon had feed buckets at the corners and the camels, as well as other animals, would come up to feed and you could pet them. I remember thinking to myself that I had a vest in grade school that felt like one of them, but I think it was probably fake.




Madison really liked sitting with one of the older gentlemen and petting a lemur. The Lemur was very friendly and had the cutest little padded hands that make them seem like they are wearing gloves. We also got to see a baby albino joey. Too young for us to touch or hold.


Collin like the animals, but also spent a fair amount of time playing with the rocks and dirt. Boys will be boys. Caden liked all the animals, but played most with the dogs that were hanging around the pavilion.

This last picture is of Madison, Collin, and a couple of monkeys, err, I mean knights :)

Great pictures all around. Paris read your blog and was very interested in the animal ranch. She is really wanting to see all of you. Tell Madison, Collin, and Caden that she is ready to play with them. What a great weekend!
