Picture of The Day #11 Ostrich (Lok Kawi Wildlife Park Kota Kinabalu)

I love vis­it­ing this park. In fact I was dis­ap­pointed I didn’t get to see every­thing in 2 hours when I was there.

As to why I am only there for 2 hours? Here’s a tip, if you’re vis­it­ing Lok Kawi Wildlife Park in the future please do not use taxi that offer their ser­vice from a hotel. (unless you’re are fine with it) Held the taxi from any where on the street and tell them you wanted to go to Lok Kawi and ask the dri­ver how much (RM100 the cheap­est, to and fro). Get your deal that way! oth­er­wise you will be lim­ited to visit the park for only 2 hours as per the sched­ule writ­ten on the flyer.

Have you seen an angry Ostrich?
