Well Jude...........What can I say.......what an incredible day you had.
I should imagine you will remember that day for the rest of your life, and how your little Grandson will enjoy hearing all about it.

My Grandmother certainly never tickled a rhino, or ever saw one.

Thank you so much for giving us such an enjoyable account of your fantastic day among the animals - a pleasure to read.

Tec.

Thank you everyone:o))

l will print out what l have written add abit here and there and save it:o)) l'm sure both grandchildren will love to hear all about it one day. l was still talking to my son at 10pm last night about it:o))

l know alot of people don't agree with zoo's etc but this one does do alot of conservation work,(as do others) some of their animals could be used to save a species one day!! The grounds are amazing and the staff live on site so are very close by!
Apparently (not from this zoo) someone has found another type of Peccary, can't remember which country now, but it is a larger version and the reference books have always said there are only 3 types, well now there are 4!! we did'nt take a photo of them:o(
l will get the photo's onto the blog asap, l have downloaded them onto to pc:o)

Glad to hear that you had such a wonderful time!

You are braver then I am as there is no way I will go anywhere near a croc or snakes. I hate them as much as I fear them, especially snakes...they make my flesh crawl.

What a wonderful present and what a wonderful time you had, Jude, well done for your bravery in being so close to some creatures that I would steer clear of, not keen on bats flying about either so can sympathise with their keeper.
A lovely memory for you, and for you to tell your friends and family about, thanks for sharing it with us. How will they top that for a gift lol?

Jude, I also enjoyed reading about your experience.

BUT I had to laugh when I read (on p2, at 12.43, paragraph 3): 'watched by hoards of school children. Funny little things they are, some were getting ready to lay eggs, others were pairing up, others were just being mischievous'. Well, I didnt know that school children could lay eggs. The rest of it yes, but eggs?

Huia.

Hello Huia

pmsl.....must admit l've read that back a couple of times and was going to alter it!! They are definately funny little things, but doubt their parents would appreciate me suggesting they lay eggs and pair up!!! lol
l'll leave it now, its funny:o))

Wonderful amazing day:o))
