Hi every1,
I visited Chester with my Aunty a few days ago and thought i could give u all a low-down of my visit. But it's really palain and baisicly notes of my visit.
I arrived at 10:30 which is quite un-usual for me as i always arrive in the after-noon (as i'm a memeber but my aunty was not so we had the whole day there). First off we saw the elephants and the ones that were out all crowded around the posts on the far left of the paddock (near the entrance) leaning over to eat the foliage. Next Monkeys, this was way too crowded so me and my aunt decided to come back. On Asian Plains Patna (the Indian rhino) was the only animal out exept for a herd of Black-Buck, but they all were lying down by the fence. We then went over Bats Bridge. From the Bridge we only saw "Kinky" the Cheetah, none of the males were out (or un-less we couldn't see them from the bridge). Hubba the Anoa was out on the paddock but he was right at the back near his stable. We took a right from the bridge to the Servals. We only saw one sleeping on the platform. Kangaroos were all lying down but not sleeping. Cassowaries were picking at the grass. A keeper was feeding the bush dogs and we got a really good view of the Pups. Red Pandas were sleeping up on the tree closest to the Bongo. The Bongo were all lying down near thir stable. We only saw Agouti in the Parrot Breeding Center. Asoka and Asha dozing on the grass. We couldn't see any of the tigers. We saw the new sealions and there was a keeper standing in the paddock watching them. The library was closed as they need a new librarian. But outside the library there is a very intresting plaques telling the Hostory of Chester Zoo, I spent quite a while studying it while my Aunty was in the Aquarium. RoRA was wey too busy so we just went straight through to see the new otter and babirusa exhibit. Didn't see any otters but the 2 Babirusa that we saw started to fight and some people came to the scene but it was nothing serious. The Chimps were out sitting on the concrete bit before their door and there was about 1 adult and 2 young chimps inside the house. Giraffe and Okapi were out so we didn't go inside the House (shame now as the baby Giraffe was in there). The pigs and Buffalo were outside but we went inside the house anyway. No sign of the Ring-Tail lemurs. Norman and Flora were both under the lamps in different enclosures. The Vultures in Europe on the Edge were eating Rabbits. We then went on the Monorail to Monkey Islands We wnt to see Monkey Island again. The spider monkeys cam right up to the glass. Mandrills were beig fed and the Maqaques were playing inside. Patna and Batschii (Indian Rhino) were outside and the Black-Buck were running about. The Bears weren't out but a keeper was feeding the tapir. Miniture Monkeys was good as the cotton tops were playing right at the end of the path on the end tree. I saw the 2 Dik-Diks out. The Gemsboks were on their Hard standing area. The have painted the back fences of the Gemsbok hard standing area a light peachy-orange. Monorail once agaim. Good view of the Horses and Hoof Stock. We walked through the farm and passed the Flamingos and saw the Ring-Tails all sunggled up on their roof. Over the Elephant Bridge. My Aunty wanted a gift from the shop. and we went Home.
