Visitors can walk along paths that cut through the park's 16 lush hectares or take a 45-minute tram ride with a guide who will tell you about how, with one kick, a giraffe can disembowel a lion. There's also a special 40-minute show that brings the animals right up close.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insisted that the decision to have Johnson disembowel himself was agreed upon "mutually." Johnson, for his part, embraced his old Arkansas college roommate and insisted to the press, "I can sincerely tell you that I feel better today about Jerry Jones as a friend than I have in our entire relationship...
