meledward23,
In the world of RV Parks, it's pretty unique. Here in Texas, it's fairly common. There are lots of hunting ranches here from a few hundred acres to tens of thousands. My idea is to fence in 8 acres and let some animals that are not native to here loose in there. They are proven species that do wll in my climate and are grazers. Unlike zoos, my animals will be chosen for there ability to live here as cheaply as possible. I also don't want any breeding going on, so I'll only have same sex animals of that speices. If you've ever been to Yellowstone and seen a herd of elk, you will notice that everyones taking pictures of the bull with the antlers. If somebody takes 20 pictures, only one will be of the cows. My theory is to give them something that exites them, let them roam freely in the preserve and let the guests find them. If I have 10 animals, you might only see half of them from the store or where ever you might happen to be. To see all of them you will have to walk around the preserve and look for them. I'm leaving stands of trees in place along with a change of elevation that will make it impossible to see it all at one location.
