Part 15: Alte Fanserie Wildpark – Frankfurt

February 14, 1991
“The Animals run in large fenced-in sections of woodland. Fed various species of deer and wild boars which were quite cute. When the baby boars saw that we had food, those dumb little things would run along the fence after us making the most ridiculous noises (we laughed and laughed). Visited with Elch (moose), wolves, and European Bison.”

Went to the Wildpark for a Valentine’s Day break from climbing . The day was cold, 14 degrees with giant snowflakes. New Mexico Man attempted to pet one of the Wisent (aka Bison Bonasus). Said Bison took this as an opportunity to 1) try to impale the offending hand on his horn 2) try to butt the wood fence down with his head. Ha ha ha! New Mexico Man kept his cape a bit farther from the fences after that.
