BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Great American Family Parks, Inc. (OTC:GFAM), a company focused on developing profitable regional theme parks in the U.S., announced today that the Company was featured in National Geographic magazine, on August 5, 2005 in an article entitled "Ligers Make a 'Dynamite' Leap Into the Limelight" by Maryann Mott. The article profiles the animal species known as "Ligers," a hybrid of half-lion and half-tiger. The article can be viewed online at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/08/0804_050804_ligers.html and at http://www.otcfn.com/gfam. According to National Geographic magazine, "It's half lion, half tiger, and completely real. Now thanks to a cameo in the 2004 cult movie Napoleon Dynamite, the liger has leaped into the limelight, prompting fans to ask, What are they really like? ... 'For the most part they're really laid back,' said Jason Hutcherson, vice president of Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, Georgia. 'They like to swim and play in the water.' We believe that the drive-through wildlife park has the country's largest concentration of ligers, housing ten of the massive cats. Since 1999 the park has bred its male lion and female tiger many times, producing about 24 cubs." Dr. Larry Eastland, President of Great American Family Parks, said, "As part of our growth strategy, we plan to add attractions which we believe are not available at venues similar to ours, mainstream zoos and other animal parks. One of our signature attractions is the park's collection of ligers, which we believe is the largest of its kind in the country. Additionally, Wild Animal Safari Park is also home to what we believe to be one of the oldest known living and largest alligators in the United States. At an estimated 85 years old, the alligator recently measured 12'9" long. We anticipate that these attractions will drive not only traffic to our park based on the profound curiosity and interest that they can potentially generate, but may also build strong brand name recognition." About Wild Animal Safari Park Driven by their vision and love of animals, Ron Snider and his wife, Vivian, founded Wild Animal Safari Park, formerly Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park, over 14 years ago. The 200-acre park, located within the 500-acre parcel purchased by GFAM, contains more than 1,700 animals. The park's jungle of animals come from around the globe, including Africa, India, Australia, Europe, South America and North America, every continent except Antarctica. Unlike a zoo, where animals are confined in small, man-made quarters, most of the animals at the park roam freely throughout its countryside, socializing, grazing and watering as they would in their original environments. Wild Animal Safari is located within an easily accessible one-hour drive time from Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, as well as Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama.
