Finally, here are the photos from Thursday’s trip to Whipsnade Zoo. I really enjoyed the day – apart from it being a really good zoo with big spacious enclosures for the animals, it was a lovely sunny day (though quite windy!).

My favourite was probably the brown bears – they looked so cute and cuddly, like proper teddy bears. And funnily enough, I had never seen them in a zoo before. They had a fantastic enclosure with their own forest and stream and plenty of space to roam around in. They looked quite content!

The rhino youngsters were very cute, especially the asian rhino one, it was jumping around in the mud after its mum. The cheetahs were beautiful as always, they are one of my favourite animals in general, so athletic and elegant.

Anyway, here are some of the photos.
