Animals in the desert

After dropping off the fish at the hotel we grabbed some fruit and snacks and headed south the Al Areen animal park. There we saw a number of colourful and impressive birds including pelicans, flamingos, cranes, storks, ibis and a variety of ducks. There were a number of local animals which seemed to largely comprise a variety of goats. We also saw a momma camel with her baby and a rather friendly young camel who charged us when we didn't have any food to give him. We wandered around the different habitats then took a mini-bus tour around the safari-like grounds of the park. We saw a number of ostrich running around loose (in fact they seemed to prefer walking on the roads to walking on the sand) and a number of gazelle and deer in pens.
