Went to Whipsnade, not the best of starts as when we got there the walkway between the wolverine and bears was shut for maintenance!! After the new enclosures not being finished the last time we visited we did think we would never see the wolverine. Also no sign of the lynx on the first visit.
The zoo was quite busy for midweek, forgot that some schools close for polling!
Later in the day the bridge opened and I saw my first (and second) Wolverine, the male in the quarantine pen came right up to the wire and happily sat there, the female, well we saw a blob in the tree, which we were assured was a wolverine!
The baby elephant was all legs still and congratulation for whoever paid £1,850.00 on ebay to name him! (my partner refused to bid even though I told him I would name it Ian
)
Saw both Lynx, both hiding, but no sign of the moose this time.
Loads of deer in the bluebells (which were stunning), wallabys and joeys and peacocks everywhere but all day we only saw one Mara very odd? Has anyone else noticed a lack of them, they are usually everywhere?
Lovely day (as usual) at Whipsnade, the grounds were looking at their best, very clear day so the views were stunning and impressed with the new guidebook, a very good mixture of animals, keeper information, history but also alot of information about the surroundings.
