amazing photos Whitehologram

It's been ages since I went to worburn, last time I went the lions decided to stand next to the cars (literally just cm's from the windows). The keeper came over to move them along as they were a little bit too close for his liking. It was amazing seeing them that close, you could get a real understanding of their size. Their feet are just so big.

Really making me want to go now, I was supposed to go in March but something came up

Awesome pics though
Yes, that's them!

The peacocks weren't in a cage or anything, they were just wandering around. The second picture was done while I was in the queue waiting to take my middle daughter to the loo

I saw peacocks in what was basically a bird zoo (it wasn't called that but I can't remember what it was called ) in cages. Really confused me! I love to see them wandering around

I used to go to Beale Park as a kid and there was always a few peacocks wandering around. They really are beautiful birds

(And Kissa, liking your new custom title )

I love maras, that's what the guinea pig lookalikes are. They tend to be loose just wandering aroun in zoos alongside agoutis and capybaras.
