~ Izu
One of our favorite critters at San Diego Safari Park is Izu. He’s king of the beasts or at least his enclosure. He reigns over his ladies and four cubs. He’s usually napping in the Southern California sun on the roof of his very own Land Rover.
We’ve found the best time to see Izu active is in the early morning park hours. Stop by and give him a wave next time your visiting Safari Park!
