Donkeys are beautiful animals,Dazza.I had one myself.

I like the Elephants.Not particularly cute -well young ones are-but very smart.

Re: Favourite zoo animals

Just remembered. My brother used to work at Woburn safari park in Bedfordshire. He patrolled the enclosures in a Land Rover checking everything was as it should be. In the lion enclosure he came across a family out of their car having a picnic on the grass. There were lions close by. Apparently these lions had recently been fed, fortunately for that family. lol

So Peter went over to them & gave them a right telling off. He said something to them to this effect:

"Get back in your car Please. There are lions over there & you could be eaten"

"But surely they are friendly lions" they exclaimed, obviosly thinking of Parsley the lion from that iconic kids tv programme lol

I mean, just because animals are in a safari park doesn't make them tame. Lions and other wild animal are by definition wild; so they are naturally hunters and I am sure if those lions were hunggry that family would be a yummy treat to them lol

Re: Favourite zoo animals

Giraffes & camels at safari parks are great, as that is the only enclosure where you can get out of your car
