This shot was taken when I was at Dublin Zoo what feels like an eternity ago.

Herons hang around the penguin enclosure waiting for feeding time and when the penguins get fed the herons go mad flying about within arms reach of you, quite scary

I promise this little campaign from Dublin Zoo is nearing an end.

I love orangutans they look so placid and intelligent.

Another thing that amazed me at Dublin Zoo and its rejuvenation was the amount of white rhinos they have staying there, 6 was what I counted, and for such big animals they need space and once again Dublin Zoo has done wonders there.

Back to Dublin Zoo, and this is one of the many play areas for kids scattered around the Zoo. This particular one is found at the new elephant enclosure and has 2 wonderfully carved wooden elephants for the kids to sit on.

I must also say that new huge elephant enclosure is fantastic. It is massive and obviously much better for the Dublin Zoo elephants but it also makes getting close up and personal with them a little more difficult.

Wow what a day. Today my other half and I had a day off and decided to take animal loving Rebecca to Dublin Zoo.

My god how the place has changed since I was there about 6 years ago. Dublin Zoo has lost some of the animals I grew up seeing like camels and the polar bears, but the gorillas at the Zoo remain, aswell as loads of other primates. I have loads of pictures to put up, so you have been warned.
