Western Chimpanzee 


Komodo Dragon 

Malagasy Blue Stick Insect

Ploughshares Tortoise

Coqueril's Sifaka. This lively and playful family group were great to watch. They even managed to do some of the sideways jumping that sifakas are famous for.



White-belted Ruffed Lemur

Ring-tailed Lemur. An all male group.


Derbyan Parakeet

White-crested Laughing Thrush

Spotted Laughing Thrus

Himalayan Monal


American (Caribbean) Flamingo chicks. There were 14.


Scarlet Ibis. Adult and very demanding chick.




Quite the most spectacular colony of flamingos I have seen.

Puna Teal

The magnificent Americas themed aviary was full of fascinating species and behaviours. The huge area was covered in a roof-netting, which really added to the atmosphere and excluded the inevitable gulls.


Capybara


Andante Bear, in a large and varied habitat.

Philippine Spotted Deer
