We are life members of our local zoo, but this is the first time we have visited since before the pandemic. While I would much prefer to see birds and animals in the wild, I do think zoos have a part to play, with conservation work and education. Hopefully, seeing these beautiful animals in real life rather than on TV or in films will encourage people to care for our wild critters.
Asiatic Lions
Inca Tern
African Penguin - these flightless birds are so ungainly on land: look at the small boulders he had to climb over to get to the sea. You have to admit the stones create such great camouflage for him though!
South American Fur Seal
Utila Spiny Tailed Iguana
Cuban Boa
Eider Duck
Red Panda
Giant Tortoise
Mr & Mrs Mallard
Round-Nosed Plated Lizard
White-Faced Whistling Duck
