❏ It’s not often that you look out your
bedroom window of your rustic but
very comfortable cabin and see an
ostrich and a trio of young kangaroos,
especially in Texas. A huge longhorn, yes. A coyote, sure. A rattler, of
course. But an ostrich—and an almost
aggressively curious one at that?
It was obvious from the moment
we rolled into the Ox Ranch outside
of Uvalde, Texas, that this wasn’t
going to be your normal press intro,
and the animals we mentioned were
just a minuscule cross-section of
the assortment of exotic, as well
as native, wild game there. You’d
likely need to visit a zoo (or the late
Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch)
to see the variety of wildlife that we’d
view over the next few days for this
very memorable look at Honda’s best
side-by-sides.
