Spent some time recently in the Palm Springs California area. Had the opportunity to wander through the Living Desert (
http://www.livingdesert.org/) This is a first-class conservation zoo specializing in desert animals. If you are ever in the area take some time to visit. There are outstanding photo ops. They have an excellent giraffe area, and you can feed them too,
Presently there is a temporary exhibit of Lorikeets. As you enter they give you a small cup of nectar and the birds know what you have and they land on you and within minutes the nectar is gone.
Some neat artwork around the park too, I liked this Lion made of industrial nails.
