Snow Leopards and Stolen Theming: Marwell Zoo.


Guest

1823 views

So yeah, my family booked a trip to Marwell Wildlife (zoo) for my birthday. Here goes...

It was in the middle of nowhere, but there was really bad traffic for the last mile or so (reminds me of a certain Staffordshire theme park), but we made it in.

And here we have the main attraction: The man with a pushchair!

Thier Penguin enclosure is a great deal bigger than Chessie's.

'Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave.'

This animal looks like my dog.

It's a pink chicken.

The world's fastest animal did not move at all during our visit. Typical.

Oh look, they seem to have stolen some theming from Zufari....

This cow is the best cow in the world. It's ginger.

You could go and see the giraffes at feeding time. How sweet!

Unfortunately all we saw of the world's rarest big cat, the Amur leopard, was this little fluffy sleeping blob.

This zebra was actually in the middle of doing the moonwalk when I took this photo. This is also one of two subspecies of zebra at the zoo.

Meerkats can always look cute.

It's not just the meerkats that like sunbathing....

See? The Amur tiger does too. (These tigers are WAY bigger than the Sumatran tiger at Chessington, but less rare)

Grey Chicken.

This red panda was so high up the tree that I couldn't see him much.

The meerkat and sleeping snow leopard pictures are incredible!

I think that was pure luck that they turned out like that- I'm a fail with a camera!
