Game Park

Game Park

Hand Raised Wildlife

West Coast Game Park

Over 450 animals and birds live there. The Game Park specializes in hand raising them.
Animals with no place else to go are taken here to regain a new life.
Be sure to visit the most popular area, the nursery.
You can hold and pet the babies. They are all hand fed on a bottle.
When we were there we saw a black bear only two months old, a baby Bengal tiger three months old and a tiny black leopard only one month old.
I got to hold a baby white raccoon. White raccoons are very rare. When a white one is born the other raccoons think it is not one of them and kill it.
The only hope for the baby is to be rescued by humans. This baby was pushed out of the nest and found by a forest ranger. It was brought here to be hand fed by the game park.
Another time when we were there I held a baby possum all cuddled down in a fleece hat. Unaware of how lucky he is to be there.
I think the nursery animals are the most interesting part of the game park. Where else are you able to handle the tiny animals.
The nursery is by no means the only part of the park. There are beautiful birds, cats, bears and other animals to be seen and petted.
The children will love it.
Bring a camera and plan on spending some time here. It is a very enjoyable place to visit.
