This ranch has zebra, camels, llama, water buck, various deer, ancoli cattle, ostrich, lemur, zonkeys (zebra/donkey that they “adopted” from someone who didn’t care for them), Water buffalo, and so so so many more. Seriously the most educational 2.5 hrs of any animal experience our family has had across the states.
