All kids need a day at the Zoo during their holidays, and this day out was just right for the Wright and Stratton kids, lots of different animals in a well maintained enclosure in a clean and comfortable environment. Graham and Diane got to feed an elephant, I fed a marmoset monkey and David did a bit of aerobics with an orangutan! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the animal enclosures being small, it was clear that each animal had water, food, shade and space to move about and play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
