Oprah Wears Ivy Park For October Cover Of ‘O’ Magazine
Oprah Winfrey, 64, looks fresh-faced and youthful in a new ad for Beyonce’s Ivy Park Line. The media mogul posed for the October cover of O, The Oprah Magazine, in a shiny boxing robe with metallic eyeshadow to match!
The brand teased the cover in a behind-the-scenes shot of the famed talk show host on Instagram on Sept. 5. Captioning the photo: Our #Beyoncé approved October cover is here: #Oprah in @weareivypark,” we can’t stop from acknowledging Oprah’s slay!
According to Hollywood Life, folks are drawing comparisons to when Beyoncé did heavy promo for the brand in a similar-looking hoodie.
Shot by celebrity photographer Ruven Afanador, Winfrey’s photo shoot was not only a throwback to her youth, but to Beyoncé’s promotional video for the Ivy Park SS17 Campaign on Feb. 1, 2017. While Oprah opted for more glam — Beyoncé kept it au naturale.
So we gotta ask… Who Wore It Better?
According to the website, Ivy Park is an activewear brand co-founded by Beyoncé, made for women who want to look and feel at the top of their game.

Fresh Air, Gorgeous Scenery, Hard Work: The Life of a State Park Attendant
She tells him she thinks her kids were headed for Ginnie Springs, a neighboring springhead that connects to Gilchrist Blue by way of the Santa Fe River.
“But I don’t know if they went right or left at the fork — and they don’t have their phones on them.” The edge in her voice sharpens as Barr’s face draws in worry.
“It shouldn’t take that long to get over there,” Barr says, 19, his voice a mix of concern and an authority that belies his tender years. “I’ll call Ginnie. If they’re not at Ginnie, I’ll call FWC.”
FWC, or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, picks up the second call on the other end. Barr explains the situation, and, a couple of “mhms” later, clicks the handset off. “They got ’em,” he says. “They’re over at Ginnie.”
Love What You Do
Not all of Barr’s duties at the state park are so dramatic — but they certainly do keep him busy.
During the peak season, which stretches from April to September, Barr spends long days picking up trash, maintaining the grounds, cleaning the bathroom and shower facilities, assisting guests, keeping an eye on the campgrounds, leading nature walks and educational sessions, scheduling camping slots, coordinating volunteers and ensuring that the nature — plant and animal — doesn’t bother the guests — and vice versa.
The park is open from 8 a.m. to sundown 365 days a year — which means in the summer, the last daytime guests leave about 8:30 p.m. But even after the gate is locked and the campers are zipped up in their tents, Barr often gets calls to come help with power outages and other unexpected issues.
Barr works 40-hour weeks in the park and is in school full time at Santa Fe College, but he’s not cutting back his hours. He couldn’t really, even if he wanted to.
In September 2017, the privately owned park was bought by the state. Prior to that, there had been 17 employees — but the state underestimated the busy season and cut the staff down to five.
Still, despite the demanding workload and crazy hours, the park attendants say they are genuinely happy and excited to show up to work each day.
Barr’s favorite part? Seeing people from all over the state (and from around the world — Gilchrist Blue Springs has had visitors from as far away as Australia) come to enjoy the place he loves so dearly. “That’s probably the most rewarding thing,” he says.
Barr’s attachment to the park runs a little deeper than the other staffers’. Before the buyout, Barr’s family had owned Gilchrist Blue Springs for nearly 60 years. Whereas the other park attendants had grown to call “Blue” home, to Barr, it’s the only home he’s ever known.
But it’s not just Barr with his familial attachment to the place who truly loves the work he does. The other staffers agree: Working at a state park is rewarding, and, especially at Gilchrist Blue Springs, it keeps a person close to nature in its purest, most breathtaking form.
Just standing on the boardwalk at the edge of the springs offers a spectacular sight. The water is an almost unbelievable shade of cerulean, changing ever so slightly depending on where the sunlight hits.
Down below, the rock formations are equal parts foreboding and alluring, tempting snorkelers to continue diving deeper into the cavernous spring. The lush greenery surrounding the natural pool provides a stark contrast that makes the blues bluer and acts as a filter that shoots beams of sunshine down to the sandy bottom, illuminating the already crystal-clear water and making it sparkle.
“This is my home,” Barr says. “It always will be — even when I leave to pursue a career with fish and game [the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission], I’ll still always be around here — always be a phone call away.”
A Path to the Parks
Barr hopes to transfer from Santa Fe College to the University of Florida, where he plans to receive his degree in agriculture education. He says that although he may not end up teaching, he wanted to study agriculture because it’s a family trade.
But that’s the beauty of state parks: There are nearly unlimited inroads to a career in any of the 175 state parks in Florida and the more than 10,000 in the U.S.
People come to work at the state parks from a variety of backgrounds, and for a variety of reasons, says Sandi Richmond, another of the five park attendants at Gilchrist Blue Springs.
“There’s people that are interested in geology, archaeology, biology, marine biology,” she says, counting off the list on her fingers. “We also welcome people who are educators… or if you’re interested in marketing — the opportunities here for employment are vast.”
For anyone hoping to someday become a state park ranger or to nab another type of job in any of the state or national parks across the U.S., volunteering is a great way to gain job experience. Volunteer opportunities range from jobs in visitor services and administration to maintenance and resource and wildlife protection.
Richmond herself started as a volunteer, and after about six months was offered a permanent staff position. “It was captivating — and addicting,” Richmond says with a laugh. “So when the opportunity for employment did come up, I jumped at the chance.”
An Unconventional Paycheck
Employees of the National Park Service have a saying: “We get paid in sunrises and sunsets.”
Whether it’s a national or state park, though, the sentiment is the same; no one’s getting rich working in the parks.
Park attendants at Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park make between $ 8.25 (Florida’s minimum wage) and $ 14.00 per hour.
Park attendants have access to a retirement plan and health-care options, but to get benefits like paid vacation and sick time, a person would have to be a park ranger. On top of the added benefits, park rangers also make a bit more money — but require additional training and education.
According to PayScale, state park rangers in the U.S. make an average of $ 38,805 annually, although some make as much as $ 61,017. Glassdoor states that rangers at national parks make slightly more, bringing in an average of $ 41,000 annually.
To become a park ranger, a person needs a combination of schooling and experience. Generally, a person needs at least two years of relevant college coursework, although some parks and states require a bachelor’s degree.
There’s No Place Like Home
For the five staffers working from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. every day during the busy season at Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park, the saying about sunrises and sunsets might seem a little too accurate.
But when you truly love the work you’re doing, it’s easy to overlook the less enticing parts of the position.
While the hours may be long and the pay may not be what you’d get working the same hours in an office job, for Barr and his coworkers, these parks are everything — and you’d be hard-pressed to find employees who loved their workplace more.
“There’s other springs in other states, but there’s nothing like Blue Springs,” Barr says. “There never will be anything like Blue Springs.”

Rugged facts about Badlands National Park
ADVERTISEMENT
Badlands National Park is situated in South Dakota, USA and covers over 200,000 acres of land. Many people have headed to the area to see the striped rock formations since it was established as a national park in 1978. There were over one million visitors to the site in 2017.
It’s a long-forgotten sea
Well, it isn’t a sea anymore, but it used to be. Over 75 million years ago the rock formations began taking shape under the surface of a shallow ocean. The water gradually receded but it left its mark on the landscape. Leaving behind formations of silt, sand, and clay, each stripe in the rocks represents different types of sediment. There were several fossils discovered at the site thanks to the fact the sea used to inhabit marine creatures. Besides the sea sculpting the landscape, the nearby rivers carved the land which resulted in the numerous peaks and cliffs many people now flock to with the intentions of getting a good look at them.
You’ll see more than rocks
Sure it is famous for its distinctive rock formations, but that isn’t all there is to see there. The park is home to one of the USA’s largest prairies and grasslands. You can expect to wander through grassy areas with the plantlife tickling both your ankles and your waist. There is an abundance of plant life in its ecosystem, over 400 species have been discovered so far.
Ferrets are flourishing there
Black-footed ferrets used to roam all across the Great Plains but were almost driven to extinction in the 20th Century. Thankfully a small number of the animals was found in the ‘80s, and a breeding program was soon put in place to try to conserve and re-introduce the species to the area. After years of hard work by conservationists, the ferrets are now beginning to flourish in the environment, but are still considered endangered. The ferrets mainly eat prairie dogs, but once the prairie dog population began to dwindle the ferrets soon followed suit. Animal conservationists saw fit to reintroduce the ferrets to Badlands in 1994, and they are now roaming around as if they own the place.
Ghost dancing
The Badlands were the hunting grounds of indigenous tribes thousands of years before it was taken from them during the 19th century. The natives were pushed from their homes by early settlers in South Dakota. A Native American prophet tried to rid the area of its new inhabitants by performing “ghost dances” which his followers would copy in the Badlands. This dance was done while the dancers would wear “ghost shirts” which they believed were bulletproof. Unfortunately, they were not bulletproof, and the dances were abruptly ended in a massacre. The Wounded Knee Massacre, as it is known, resulted in 300 Natives being shot in 1890 by the US Cavalry.
Visitors are allowed to navigate their own way through the rock formations which is just another reason why people flock there every year, it’s a great hike! Those were some of the lesser known facts about Badlands National Park, hopefully there were a few surprises in there for you.

‘Westworld’ Debuts a New India-Themed Park
SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from the Westworld Season 2 episode “Virtù e Fortuna.” Proceed with caution.
This week’s episode of Westworld definitely picked up the pace from the last two episodes. Not only did the series finally reveal a new world, but it also showcased an all out war against Dolores and her men. Peter Abernathy also resurfaced in this episode, with both Dolores and Charlotte desperate to find and save him. Teddy also had a moment of “virtue” where he defied one of Dolores’ direct orders. Let’s jump into some of the best moments from the episode:
Welcome to Bengal Tiger World
This week’s episode opened with our first glimpse of a new world. This world seems to be based on India. Some theories suggest this could be Raj World — Raj refereeing to the time of British sovereignty in India. The hosts and guests were dressed in the traditional hunting clothes of the British/Indian safari. Two new characters met, tested each other to see if they were human and host, and set out on their hunt.
The new female character noticed that something was off right away when no hosts were there to great them on their hunt. A rogue host killed the man and a Bengal tiger almost killed her. The tiger chased her right over the edge of a cliff and into the water. This could be how the Bengal tiger washed up on the opposite side of the shore in the Season 2 premiere. The woman did survive, but not for long.
The time between this Bengal tiger escaping and Bernard finding it on the shore should be 10 days. We briefly saw that day again, when Bernard and Charlotte reunited, but the rest of this episode seems to take place on Day 2 or Day 3 of the purge.
The Reunions Continue
Last week’s episode, which was titled “Reunions,” featured a lot of characters re-connecting again, like Dolores and Maeve, Dolores and young William, and Dolores and Logan. This week, however, also featured two more very powerful reunion moments: Dolores found her father, Peter Abernathy. Peter was killed during the very first episode of Westworld. When Dolores found him in this episode, she shed many tears upon seeing him again.
Peter Abernathy is the reason Dolores was put on her current journey when he said to her, “these violent delights have violent ends.” While he remembered her for a moment, he began to stutter and lose grip of himself. What Dolores didn’t know when she found him was that his systems were full of information, information that Charlotte put into him.
Dolores also reunited with Bernard during this episode. Dolores took Bernard to Abernathy, to see if he could fix him. This led to a very interesting conversation between them about the world outside the park. As we saw last week, Dolores remembers being outside — Bernard, however, doesn’t know that world yet.
When Bernard hacked into Abernathy’s systems, he found Charlotte’s hidden files. Bernard lost Abernathy however when the Delos team came for him at Dolores’ protected fort. Charlotte escaped with Abernathy, which put Dolores on a new quest to find him. Abernathy is now the most important host in the park, for both Dolores and Delos.
Teddy’s Choice
Over the last few episodes, Teddy has been more and more reluctant to follow Dolores’ death orders. He isn’t quite sure who or what he is, but he is discovering his own voice, just like Dolores has found hers. During this episode, Teddy was ordered to shot a group of unarmed men — men who just helped Dolores survive a Delos incursion. Teddy refused to do it, which proves that he may not be #TeamDolores for the entire season.
Next Week On Westworld
The final shot of the episode featured Maeve, Hector, Lee and Armistice exploring the Klondike storyline at the edge of the Westworld park. While trudging through the snow, they encountered a Samurai swordsman. This is the storyline fans have been waiting for since the first footage of Samurai World dropped over the summer. Hopefully next week’s episode will take Maeve fully into Samurai World.
Westworld is currently airing on HBO.

Why you should visit the Rocky Mountains National Park
ADVERTISEMENT
Every now and then you are met with an opportunity to visit a place that you would not have ordinarily chosen as your next vacation spot. That’s exactly what happened to me when I was invited to a friend’s wedding in Denver, Colorado. To set the record straight – I always wanted to go to Colorado, I have always had a fascination with mountains and I knew the Rocky Mountains were a site to behold. However, I had other destinations that were higher on wanderlust list.
Now that I’ve cleared up the reason as to why I was in Colorado in the first place, let me tell you that deciding to go was the best decision I had made in a very long time. I was in Colorado for a total of five days. The first three days were entirely consumed with wedding events, leaving the last two completely free for me to wander around the state as much as I pleased. In order to traipse around as much as I planned to, I rented a car and hit the road.
It was just me and a friend, driving from Denver to the Rocky Mountains National Park. The drive was a (relatively) short hour and a half to Estes Park, where the temperature that would greet us would be a chilly 34 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius). Getting into the park costs $ 20 a vehicle (up to 7 people) so it is a very reasonable price for everything you are getting in return. You can choose from five different visitor centers throughout the park, we decided to drive to Beaver Meadows Visitors Center.
It was at the visitor’s center that we got a map and spoke to a park ranger (yes, a real park ranger with the whole ranger getup) about where we could go on a day trip within the park. After consulting with the ranger we decided to go to Bear Lake and Many Park Curve. Bear Lake was a short circular hike around a (still) frozen lake, while Many Parks Curve was an overlook that displays several mountain peaks and pretty much takes your breath away, sometimes literally.
So why should you visit the Rocky Mountains National Park? Because we all need to feel small in the best way possible at least once in our lives… and it is truly some of the best hiking and views you can find. For example, in Bear Lake, walking around the relatively flat terrain of that particular area of the park was exciting due to the fresh powder that was on the ground thanks to a spring storm that occurred a couple of days beforehand. It was also quite a contrast from the giant mountains that were peaking beyond the trees surrounding the lake.
Moving on to Many Parks Curve and you will find yourself looking out at several monster of mountains with a dropped jaw and teary eyes. While yes, the teary eyes may be due to the wind in your face, for me, it was from the ridiculous amount of natural beauty I was beholding. If you find yourself anywhere near Colorado, do yourself a favor and go into the Rockies.

Joshua Tree national park: music, myths and art in the desert
The Coachella festival, starting this week, showcases music in a dramatic landscape but in – and around – Joshua Tree the arts and culture shine all year round
Out in the desert, anything seemed possible. The stark, dry landscape felt like an illusion, a deception that belied the artistic endeavour and creativity around Joshua Tree and the other high desert communities of Yucca Valley, Twentynine Palms and Pioneertown. I got the sense that maybe no idea could be too crazy, no scheme too “out there”.
My surroundings made it easy to feel this way: I was looking at the salvaged-material sculptures of Noah Purifoy at a 10-acre open-air gallery a few minutes’ drive from the town of Joshua Tree. The Outdoor Desert Art Museum of Assemblage Sculpture is as mesmerising as its name. Amid the cactus and sagebrush, I saw old cathode-ray-tube TVs and VCRs piled against a jumble of scrap metal, and a welcome sign fashioned from tyres. A plot of white crosses hinted at darkness and mortality, while there was humour in bicycle parts and pieces of wood and metal united as unfathomable contraptions.

The camaraderie and joy we experienced on stage reflected our deep connection with each other, with our fans, and with the music.”
In October, Linkin Park took the stage together for the first time since the frontman’s death for a tribute concert to celebrate his life surrounded by a the crowd of more than 17,000 fans.

How Floating Down a River With Keri Hilson Taught Me to Appreciate the National Park Service
A week ago, I spent a day river floating down the 48-mile Chattahoochee River in metropolitan Atlanta, and wading into the river to learn how fly fishing enthusiasts cast and back cast. Back casting is easier!
(Keri Hilson leads a group down the Chattahoochee River. Image: CatMax Photography/National Park Foundation)
What a fun way to learn about the offerings of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area—established as a result of legislation Rep. Andrew Young introduced and President Jimmy Carter signed into law in 1978.
Nature, the Best Educator
The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area gets more than 3 million visitors every year, putting it in the top 35 of all 417 National Parks in the National Park Service.
(Cedric Talley, Visual Information Specialist at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Image: File)
Maybe that’s because of the proximity to urban Atlanta—the river is within the city limits, although you’d never know it by the number of enormous trees on the river banks. I saw a couple of deer during my trip, as well as a blue heron and osprey flying above, but other wildlife also make their appearance—including muskrats, alligators, and the occasional bear.
There’s also tons to do in the park—paddle boating, river floating, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, and mountain biking, as well as simply hiking or running the 83 miles of trails.
School groups come to the park to get hands-on lessons in nature, wildlife, insects, and the abundant flora. The state of Georgia stocks the river with rainbow trout and striped bass, which survive because of the river bottom’s cool temperatures.
(Raukisha Talley told us about the history of the park. Image: File)
This place is a naturalist’s dream. My son was an avid nature lover when he was little—and this was the kind of park he would have loved visiting. If you’re in or near Atlanta, you must take your kids for a day trip.
Class I Rapids
“People see the river as a real asset,” Bill Cox, superintendent of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, told a group of us in the park’s visitor’s lodge, which is included on the National Register of Historic Places.
(Bill Cox and Hilson. Image: CatMax Photography/National Park Foundation)
The park’s vast 7,000 acres create a serene space for people living in the city. It’s accessible and free, though if you want to fish you need to purchase a permit and license; there’s also a cost to rent paddle boats.
But hiking, walking, or riding your own bike is free—and you still get to commune with nature and de-stress.
I’m glad the rapids were Class I when we floated down the ’Hooch, as locals call it, although water released from the dam causes the river depth to change rapidly—so checking the release schedule is advised.
(The author, ready to wade in the ‘Hooch. Image: )
Keri Hilson, the singer, songwriter, and actress, is an ambassador for the National Park Foundation. She regularly takes advantage of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
“I’m an outdoorsy girl,” she told me. “Fitness is important to me, so I run in the park.” Being in the park elevates Hilson’s senses and puts her in a meditative mood.
(Image: CatMax Photography/National Park Foundation)
The great news is that you don’t need to live in Atlanta to run in one of the National Parks. With 417 National Park Service areas, chances are good that there’s one near you. As the National Park Service campaign says, Find Your Park!

Father Builds a $35 Million Theme Park for Daughter With Special Needs
When Gordon Hartman watched his then-12-year-old daughter, Morgan, have trouble making friends in a swimming pool during a family vacation, he was heartbroken.
The incident led Hartman to search for a public space where Morgan, who is on the autism spectrum and experiences a cognitive delay, could play with others who knew how to interact with her. Hartman soon realized such a place didn’t exist.
So, he made it himself.
Hartman is the founder of Morgan’s Wonderland, an ultra-accessible theme park in San Antonio, Texas, where people with or without disabilities can play together. It’s a place of total inclusion — a park where there are no barriers from keeping anyone from playing with each other.
“It’s a park for 100 percent of the people, not one for 90 or 80 percent of them, it’s for everybody, no matter how acute their special need may be,” Hartman tells PEOPLE. “That’s what my dream was.”
The 53-year-old father began his pursuit of helping those with disabilities when he founded The Gordon Hartman Family Foundation after selling off his homebuilding business in 2005. After the incident in the pool — which is still hard for him to speak about — Hartman realized that if other children had a better understanding of people with disabilities, Morgan may have an easier time making friends. Hartman wanted to build a theme park that incorporated people with and without special needs like no other place before it.
“It’s about not letting anyone feel different,” Hartman explains. “That’s what we tried to do with this park.”
Hartman held dozens of meetings to raise money and collaborated with architects, engineers, doctors, and therapists to design the $ 35 million park. Construction began in 2007 and was completed three years later, and just this year, the nonprofit added a fully-accessible $ 17 million water park called Morgan’s Inspiration Island.
Among many attractions, Morgan’s Wonderland includes a fully-accessible train, playground, and Ferris wheel. The water park features a wheelchair-accessible river ride and areas with warm water to help those with muscular conditions. The park also provides special wrist bands that can track the whereabouts of visitors, which is handy for those with autism, who are often considered flight risks.
Morgan’s Wonderland has had more than a million visitors since it opened, and one-third of its staff includes people with special needs. Admission is free for anyone with a mental or physical disability. But the parks are funded through donations, and Hartman says they operate at a loss — losing about $ 1 million a year — and they largely depend on fundraising.
Today, Morgan is 23, and while she has the cognitive abilities of a 5-year-old, she is doing better than years before. Hartman says she is a rallying point for him and others, and she is a true inspiration to the entire organization — that is why they named the water park, “Morgan’s Inspiration Island.”
Recently, during a walk through the water park, a father of a guest took hold of Hartman’s hand and started to cry. The man pointed to his adult son playing in the water and told Hartman that he had never seen his child play like that before. Another couple from Michigan told Hartman that they appreciated that the park gave their daughter a chance to feel included, rather than be a spectator.
“So many people told us that this would be an opportunity for our daughter to finally have a place where she wouldn’t have to sit on the sidelines, she could actually do everything,” they told him.
Hartman was delighted to hear it.
“That’s exactly right,” he replied. “That’s exactly what this whole place is about.”

Man ‘Dumbfounded’ After Learning His Snake Can’t Just Chill In Park
The nanny state has got this guy feeling like a snake on a leash.
South Dakota snake owner Jerry Kimball was positively “dumbfounded” to learn he could not let a snake roam freely in a park. Kimball was fined $ 190 for not having his 4-month-old fire bee ball python on a leash, and he is not happy about it.
“It was April Fool’s Day, so I thought he was playing a joke,” Kimball told Argus Leader about being ticketed by an animal control officer. “They’re not fast creatures. They’re not going to run away.”
The thing about snakes, though, is that they can still move. Which is why the officer suggested Kimball put a leash on his pet.
“He was literally asking me to put a rope around my snake,” Kimball told the publication “I was like ‘dude, no.’ I was dumbfounded.”
Kimball said in a Facebook post that he was holding an “educational meet and greet” featuring his snakes, through his group Sioux Falls Snake Adventures. Though Argus Leader only mentions one fire bee ball python, a photo of the citation states that there were two ball pythons on the grass with “nobody holding them.”
Kimball was ticketed for “animals running at large.” Last year, 253 citations were issued in the city of Sioux Falls for violating the rule. Kimball, however, doesn’t think it should apply to his snakes.
While he might have to leash his pet, Kimball could take solace in knowing that as of this week, he would theoretically be allowed to legally ship reticulated pythons and green anacondas one state to another within the continental U.S. Yay!
Kimball said he plans to fight the ticket.
“That’s my purpose in life: To let people know that snakes aren’t killers,” Kimball said. “What better way to give back than to help people understand these misunderstood creatures?”
Because nothing will help people feel more comfortable with a python than having it roam freely in a park.

Zoo Park (PC)
Zoo Park (PC)
From the towering giraffe to loveable meerkats, in Zoo Park: Run Your Own Animal Sanctuary you’ll care for over 30 animals from all four corners of the Earth including lion, gorilla, coyote, puma, moose, raccoon, wolverine, snow leopard and the black bear. Like any modern animal care facility in the 21st Century, you will need to run a professional programme of rescue, rehabilitation, research and conservation to promote understanding and care of all the animals under your control. As well as animal care, another main task of Zoo Park is constructing a well thought out facility to best meet the requirements of both the animals and your visitors. You must construct the correctly sized habitats for each of your animals. A Koala bear won’t appreciate sharing an enclosed space with a tiger for example. Remember that each animal will also have several needs which you’ll need to consider when mapping out your zoo park. Some species will favour a large pool of water to happily swim about in whilst others will enjoy a large amount of plant life to themselves. You’ll also need to consider their diet and how much space each animal will require. You’ll then need to hire staff to help you run the park. As well as keeping your animals happy, healthy and rehabilitating them into the wild, the hordes of visitors will also need to be accommodated by constructing pathways so that they can see your animals, building toilet facilities, constructing cafes and ice-cream stands and a gift shop. Can you rescue, rehabilitate and research your animals to promote animal welfare education whilst constructing the ultimate zoo park to keep all your charges and visitors happy.
