Wildlife West Nature Park

Roger Alink has never owned a television. As a kid, he was too busy with the pigs and cattle that roamed his 160-acre home, and this love of animals and the outdoors only grew over time. In the early '90s, Alink decided to share this love with others, so he and a team of volunteers spent 30,000 hours establishing Wildlife West Nature Park.

In addition to the wild creatures, migratory birds, and GPS-lacking manatees who settle at the park, representatives of the region's indigenous animals and plants live and grow on its 122 scenic acres, much of which hasn’t been altered since the park's inception. Elsewhere, 30 wildlife exhibits mimic the natural habitats of the black bears, wolverines, deer, pronghorn antelopes, and birds of prey that inhabit them. Two miles of trail connect each habitat, and each enclosure is specially designed for the particular needs of its residents. The same custom care goes into feeding the animals: to keep the beasts psychologically spry, staff members provide challenges that echo the animals' instinctual eating habits, placing meals up in treetops, burying snacks that need to be sniffed out, and arranging candlelit dinners for mountain lions who forgot their wives’ birthdays.

Sustainable practices such as recycling, organic farming, and water harvesting turn the park into an educational example of eco-friendliness. Facilities such as the amphitheater and the heated, enclosed Bean Barn also welcome special events ranging from music festivals and bird-handling workshops to the kite-spangled Wind Festival and the ursine Bear Fair.

The Groupon Guide to: Airplane Safety Measures

Commercial airlines take special precautions to ensure the safety of passengers, flight crews, and suitcases full of precious glass dolls. Here are some of the many safety features you'll encounter on your next flight:

  • Underseat flotation device and goggles
  • Seat belt that only unbuckles after the drink cart has passed by
  • Perfect Landing™ brand hang-gliding gear
  • Oxygen masks that will fit anyone from adults to big, dumb tweens
  • Seat-back pockets full of impact-absorbing garbage
  • A door that comes off and makes a big hole in the plane
  • Three foam pool noodles for every passenger

Will this fit my big, dumb tween?
