Tanganyika Wildlife Park in June 2011
Tanganyika Wildlife Park near Goddard, Kansas
opened to the public in June of 2008. Prior to that, the Tanganyika Wildlife
Park was a private zoo. Tanganyika is a non-profit breeding facility for
rare and endangered species. Species represented in the park include giraffes,
tigers, clouded lepords, black rhinoceros, and zebras.
Tanganyika Wildlife Park distinguishes itself from other
Kansas zoos by emphasizing interaction between visitors and the animals,
There are many opportunities to feed or pet wildlife as diverse as lemurs,
camels, birds and snakes. Some of those encounters, such as feeding the
giraffes, have additional fees.

Snake

Tanganyika Wildlife Park is a non-profit breeding facility
for rare and endangered species. Tanganyika Wildlife Park is the largest
breeder of snow leopards in the world.
Feeding a giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) at the old Tanganyika
private zoo. This has recently become common at zoos,
but Tanganyika was the first zoo where I encountered it.

Tanganyika continues to add new exhibits such as this one with African
penguins (Spheniscus demersus),
