Inverdoorn Game Reserve

We drove out to the Karoo, past the wine region of Paarl and Tulbagh Valley to Ceres. This game reserve had 10,000 hectares dedicated to conservation, 1,2000 wild animals representing 28 different species. When we got there we had pineapple juice and hung out for a bit, then we got into our jeeps and headed out. We saw giraffes (which we got out of the jeep and got to walk on land with!), zebra, waterbuck, Oryx, sable antelope, kudu, impala and springbok. We also saw Cheetah and lions (Karl, the lions were so cool!)!!! Fun Fact time! Fun fact #1: The cheetah is an endangered species and one of the things we learned was that they have a hard time regulating their body temperature and the male cheetahs get hot when they run and they get so hot that their body heat kills their sperm and so that is one reason the number of cheetah cubs is so low. Fact #2: A zebra has different stripes on its left side then on its right side. Fact #3: A giraffe runs with its front right foot and back right foot and then runs with its front left foot that follows with its left back foot and a horse runs with its front two feet and its back to feet. Fact #4: A giraffes tongue can be up to a foot long!
