It’s time for another collection of infrared photos, this time from my weekend getaway to Afric—well, we didn’t go all the way to Africa for the weekend, but we went to the closest thing – The Wild Animal Park in San Diego.

Filled with hundreds of species of animals living in natural environments free from cages and often in wide open plains where they wander, the Wild Animal Park is actually an entertainment theme park second and a conservation and breeding facility first. It is also being threatened by the current wildfires and is now closed, though the animals are in safe keeping. Here are some photos that rival the African plains where you’ll see gazelles, rhinos and giraffes among the other animals and plant life.
