Paul & Lynsey's Zoo Tour

Enjoy your videos. Well edited and no empty enclosures or sleeping animals...:)

One question- is there only one Sealion? I saw a single 'performer' one at West Midlands and thought it seemed wrong to keep just a single, however much attention is paid to it.
 
Thanks Pertinax, I guess we were lucky a lot of the animals are active when we see them, maybe they're playing to the camera :-)

They have three Sealions I think (without checking my footage) which are in a pool behind the performance arena when not performing or training.
 
The boat ride to see the gorillas and feed the Sealions swung it for me. That and being able to feed the Giant Anteaters. Who knew their favourite food was avocado and Quark!

From your shots I guess the boat doesn't spend long by the Gorilla area?

Did you also see the old male Gorilla 'Nico' on his island ?

The Anteater experience looks good.

Another great video- keep 'em coming!
 
By far our favourite Safari Park (of the 4 we visited) was Longleat. The boat ride to see the gorillas and feed the Sealions swung it for me. That and being able to feed the Giant Anteaters. Who knew their favourite food was avocado and Quark!

Another superb video, thanks again.

One minor quibble, you wrote baboon in your description on the video, they are actually Macaques! :p

The boat does a lap round the island housing Nico then past the main group after but it doesn't stop unfortunately so you don't get much time to see them (unless you spend the day on the boat!). We saw Nico briefly, he was just laying there watching us and the world go by....
 
Three quarters of the way through the tour, our 30th visit was Africa Alive!

Sister zoo to our local zoo, Banham, the have some amazing animals: Drills, Senegal Bush Babies, Aardvarks and Fossas among others. The aardvark experience is well worth trying....
