On Monday we went to Chessington, and as well as the theme park, there is also a zoo, and now a Sea Life Centre - and it is really rather good.

I particularly liked the big cats - even though the leopard wouldn't stay still ;)



There were tiger cubs that had been born in Febuary:




Goats in the children's zoo:



and a fantastic sea lion show, with Boris (the oldest sea lion in Europe) supervising:



But the active part was now taken by Hardy, who does a fantastic seal impression, but an even better dolphin one ;)

Gorgeous pictures. Look at those fluffy cubs!

Boris is great. I must knit a sea-lion some day, I have a pattern for one.

Very nice! I think the photographs came out quite well, and I'm impressed with the tigers photos as through a window like that is not easy.

Thankyou - needless to say I didn't post the ones that were mostly reflection

Likewise. Seriously, you don't know how many such photos I've managed through the years. At least taking another is cheap with digital. :)

Yes, the joy of digital ;)

It looks brilliant!

I love tigers. I particularly like the one delicately sitting on the log!

Oh the tigers were fantastic, the cubs were so close to the glass, I watched them for ages.

It was. There were cubs, hence the pacing (they were on 'cub cam')
