Day at Whipsnade Zoo
Giraffe
I was lucky to go at the end of February to Whipsnade Zoo which is about 45 minutes from my parents, I had not been since my 11th Birthday so nearly 21 years.
Day at Whipsnade Zoo
As you know, I like going to places on days out esp. to National Trust properties as I'm a member, but when my dad won two of free tickets to Whipsnade Zoo for the day, I was keen to go even though we thought that my nephews would enjoy it more than me!
The Zoo has changed a lot in nearly 21 years
Most of the animals we saw were asleep or at the back of the enclosures, so it was difficult to photograph them!
Penguin
Wallaby
African Hunting Dog
Giraffe
White Rhino
Meerkat
Zebra
Pygmy Hippo 
Cheetah
Pelican
Asian Elephants
Yak
Asian One-Horned Rhino
Butterfly
Otters
There were good places to picnic, so you don't have to spend lots of money on food

I did not photograph every animal though esp. the lions as they were behind a screen so the pictures would not have been good, they were just lying there!!

I love going to zoos and safari parks and my favourite one locally in the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens. Thanks for sharing, especially your photos. I love the little penguin.
ReplyDeleteMe to, I have not been in so long, that it was worth visiting :) Glad you like my photo's of the animals :)
