Twycross Zoo

[pandop]

Bryn and I stopped off at Twycross Zoo on the way back here on Sunday - it was very busy, but we still managed to see everything

The zoo isn't huge, which was good, as we were somewhat limited with time - it is mainly monkeys and chimps, which is fine by me.

I disturbed Bryn a little by squeeing over Marmosets - especially the loose ones we saw in the tropical house - but they have such dear little faces. I didn't get any photos of these, as my camera is rubbish and they are so fast. The Pygmy Marmosets were adorable too, but too small and far away for my zoom :(

I did take photos of other animals though

The obligatory Alpaca photo: 



Vicuna:



Copybara: 



Camel:



Giraffe:



Elephants (I am particularly chuffed with this photo):



A row of penguins:



A Scottish Wild Cat behaving like every domestic cat I have ever seen, and basking in the sun:



Lemurs (there were so many lemurs, all different kinds):



and finally, just showing us you can look dignified, even when sitting in a plastic crate:
