![]() Idris Breeding and Rescue Centres was developed when 5 friends, all animal-lovers, went around on a world tour, travelling to most countries, seeing how much animal numbers are declining. They then decided to start up a company, and name it 'Idris Breeding and Resue Centres'. It was soon looking for more and more volunteers. Eventually, in 2001, they hit the mark they were looking for. 250 volunteers! This was all in Minnesota, and they soon got to work building headquarters. When that was done, they soon recieved many donations from all around Minnesota, the biggest beinga 5.5million dollar grant from a multi-millionaire that was staying for a holiday in Minnesota. He wished for his name to be unrevealed, so we will not say his name. Soon after that, in 2005, the company bought an old animal park from someone who was retiring from zoo-work. The zoo only had an elderly couple of Bengal Tigers, that died of old age soon after IBRC bought the place. Now, in 2012, they now have 2 parks under their juridifiscticion, but only one of them is open to the public. Our first park we will be showing is- ![]() Originally called 'Harrison's Animal Park', the old animal park was built in 1931. It was owned by an Harrison Josie, an elderly man with a passion for animals. He sold the zoo to IBRC in hope of turning it into something big. He joined the association soon after that, and his only animals left died 2months later of old age. Work was set out for them, and the first animals they first recieved was a herd of elk numbered of 2-5 that were rescued from an elk farm that had disgusting conditions for them. Since then they've had many off-spring. But now, in 2012, it's got many, many more animals! Entrance Let's quickly grab our tickets, so we can be let in! ![]() Ahh, finally our first exhibit! In it we have our Striped Iguana couple, Indie and Iggie! Indie is the female, and a copper colour compared to Iggy, who is a classic Striped Iguana. We got the couple from an abandoned reptile house, where they were just hanging onto life. We got them along with snakes, other lizards and an american alligator, that have all been relocated in other zoos. Here they are in their small, but happy home. ![]() ![]() Their indoor pool where they like to relax ![]() Some random shots of the exhibit ![]() ![]() ![]() Exciting news as well! Indie has just laid their first egg! It will get moved soon to the hatching area, where all our eggs are kept, just to be on the safe side, along with expecting mothers and newborns. But enough of that, here's the egg! ![]() Hope you enjoyed! Next Time, Elk! I'll leave you all with this picture of what's to come: ![]() Please leave comments! Thanks so much to Lidlid for the logos! |
