To see the different plains animals at Out of Africa, you hop on a converted school bus and go through a couple gates to the plains area which is several acres. The school bus is missing its windows and is jacked up. This keeps the zebras, ibex, and eland out. The giraffes have access and you are allowed to feed them a cookie. The animals believe this is the cookie wagon. I believe the cookies are an approve diet item.
Since, they want the cookies, they walk right up to the bus. The driver has to be careful because they just stand and eat or wait for more cookies.
The picture with a bit of fence is of the mean plains animal. They are kept behind a fence for everyones safety. A lot of zoos refuse to keep them since they just attack everything. According to the driver, when they are giving birth, they will still try to gore a person.
The rest are more friendly. Visitors can't feed any that have upper teeth. This keeps people from getting bitten.
