Wez has just been in Northern Ireland for a week and I've been studying my arse off with work. Before he went away, we decided to snag some quality time together and explore London Zoo!
It was much like the Melbourne zoo experience.. minus platypus and Tassie devils, Koalas. Add a few bearded pigs and meerkats, and albino porcupines.. oh and no elephants in London.
The one thing London Zoo has on Melb is their monkey enclosure. Unlike the apes, they've got space to misbehave.
Ok, so it was quite different!
Just quietly, Melbourne does it better.
The animals here have less space which sucks.
That's not to say it wasn't a good day out!
We saw butterflies..
A chameleon..
Gazing meerkat..
A very chilled out otter..
Sleepy owls..
And an albino porcupine.
She was a bit strange to look at, blind too.
Seeing animals living there that wouldn't survive without zoo life felt better
than seeing giant apes in tiny enclosures.
Their Ape enclosure had Planet of the Apes written all over it! The poor things looked so bored.
To the point I felt bad taking their photos. So I didn't.

You see these little guys through the window and make ridiculous girly noises.
Shucks! I want to work at the zoo so we can hang out!
And Bam.. there they are running around your feet and jumping over your head.
There's 2 keepers in there trying to keep monkey separate from man in the enclosure.
One little guy looked up at me. I put my hand out and he leaped for dear life crawling up my arm and over me. I was delighted! Keeper not so much.
