Tribe gives park more time to move big animals


A wildlife park on the Fort McDowell Yavapai Reservation in Arizona has been given more time to move its large animals.

The tribe gave an extension to the Out of Africa Wildlife Park to move 14 big animals, including a giraffe, wildebeest, sable antelope and zebra. The tribe wants the park to hire a professional animal transporter and submit a plan.

The park is being evicted at the end of the month.
