At Last

The camera finally works!

So here are picture from the zoo:

The kids love the lemur feeding, as the cute little critters take the fruit out of your hand. They have the run of the park, and they have priority over you (the lemurs that is!)

Any lying on the floor sunbathing should be left alone and negotiated without disturbing them. They form raiding parties to attack the picnic areas. If it isn’t nailed down they’ll have it. One made off with a green dummy that Godzooky 3 had! I guess it thought it was fruit. I have a lovely mental image of lemur still sucking on this everlasting grape! The tiger feeding is quite spectacular:

They put the meat at the top of the poles, not just for the spectacle, but because they want the tigers to work for their food, as they would in the wild. It’s a very ethical wildlife park. They have formed close bonds with Sumatra to help conserve the tigers and sell gifts from the area, to give the local people an alternative income to killing the tigers for skins/body parts.

    Oh what a cool park! Nothing like that here... just caged animals panting in the sun.

    It is without doubt the best zoo I have ever seen.

    There are no elephants, but the fact you can get so close to teh animals is great - especially for the kids.

    DD - it's about 1 3/4 hours drive from Manchester. £9.50 for adults and about half that for kids.

    If you want a link email me!
