Employees at a wildlife park on the Fort McDowell Yavapai Reservation in Arizona say they are surprised by the tribe's eviction order.
The Out of Africa Park was planning to move to a new location next year. Employees said they submitted an exit and cleanup plan to the tribe.
The tribe says it never received the information so it told the park to vacate the 16-acre site by June 30. The park is relocating 300 wild animals to the new site.
