Whipsnade Zoo

It's on our doorstep, yet we hadn't been for years, so we spent a busy Easter Monday at the zoo...

European Brown Bears...

 

Humboldt Penguins...

 

Reindeer...

Not much action in the wolf enclosure...

The real ones were feeling bashful...

Oriental Short Clawed Otters...

Oryx...

The Tigers did their best to hide from view...

 

Flamingos...

Like all the rest of the carnivores the Cheetahs were also taking it easy...

Hippo showing off its fine teeth...

Pygmy hippo and calf...

Mr Pygmy Hippo...

Meerkat...

It's all Grevy's... a Zebra...

Along with the Maras and the Wallabies, Peacocks also have free rein around the zoo... 

After much neck craning, the rather secretive Red Panda high in a tree...

What looks like a fine grin from the female Ostrich...

 

A cheery look too from a Rhino...

Mother and calf...

Bactrian Camel...

Asian Elephants...

Bison...
