Twycross Zoo. October 2014

Madelyn's childminder had to go into hospital so we were happy to step in to help.

We decided to take her to the zoo. It wasn't a particularly nice day but it did mean there weren't many people around. As it happened ,there weren't many animals either!! It was very difficult to see into some of the enclosures as the glass was covered in condensation. The monkeys didn't keep still for long enough to get a decent photo either🐒

With grandad and the 'mingos.

With a giant tortoise 

             

And with a zebra.

      

We did see some elephants. There is a baby in there somewhere

This beautiful creature was asleep when we first saw it. It was in a huge enclosure which ran alongside the resturant. While we were eating we noticed that there were some chickens,supermarket type, on the grass. We were lucky enough to be there when this lovely cat came for it's lunch.
