Loma Linda University Health Hosts Animal Ambassadors from San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Animal ambassadors native to Africa and Asia are expected to awe the crowd as San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park Tour comes to Loma Linda University Health. The animal presentation is planned for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6, on the campus lawn located between the University Church and Prince Hall, 11092 Anderson Street, Loma Linda, 92350. The event is open and free to the public. “We’re very excited to once again host our friends from San Diego Zoo Safari Park and give our students, employees, and our local friends and families a glimpse of the wonderful creatures that live on our planet,” said Rick Williams, vice president for enrollment management and student services at Loma Linda University Health. Animal care staff from the Safari Park will present several animals for the public including a cheetah, serval and a Eurasian Eagle owl. (Please note: animals could change.) During the presentation at Loma Linda University Health, trainers will talk about each of the animals they’re presenting and also discuss the May 24 opening of the Tiger Trail habitat at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, Calif. Opportunity drawings will be held at the event, including for tickets to San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, and a one-night stay at Comfort Inn and Suites Zoo-Sea World area. Last year, more than 1,000 people turned out for a similar visit by representatives from the San Diego Zoo, promoting the zoo’s Conrad Prebys Australian Outback exhibit. Among the creatures showcased last year: a koala, red kangaroo, kookaburra, blue-tounged skink, and a cane toad.
