I recently visited the Animal Ark wildlife sanctuary and nature center which occupies 38 acres Northwest of Reno, Nevada.
The sanctuary provides a safe habitat for non-releasable wildlife and allows the public a unique opportunity to view the animals in natural habitat. It was established in 1980 and continues to grow with acquisition of more wildlife.
One of the sanctuary's programs involves rehabilitation of orphaned black bear cubs so that they can be released back into the wild.
Since I visited the facility on a hot sunny afternoon, most of the animals were sleeping so there wasn't much of a chance to take photos. To learn more about the sanctuary, go to www.animalark.org

Animal Ark is now the permanent home of 2 10-month old cheetahs who were born at the DeWildt Cheetah Centre in West Africa and raised at Cheetah Outreach. They are here in an effort to support cheetah conservation in the wild and to study the affects of high speed running on the health of captive cheetahs. Videos of the cheetahs can be seen on the website at www.animalark.org They are really fun to watch.
