Linton Visit - 23rd July 2012

Well here is what I was hoping to be a particularly exciting post, but unfortunately there was a bit of an error!


I went to Linton on Monday afternoon to take part in the rest of my 18th birthday present, which was a big cat keeper for the day. However my original date during May half term had to be cancelled due to Safina being in season, as it was not a good time to get this close to lions behaving in such a manner!


So I did go along to the zoo and I did clean the lions out, as well as hand feeding Zuri and Safi and also Lisa the Leopard and Katinka the Tiger. However I forgot to put my memory card in my camera, so all the photos taken of me with the cats on a proper camera are still in the zoo office yet to be sorted out for me!


But my dad did have his phone handy, so below are a few photos of me with the lions, but beware the quality is not good!







Being so close to Zuri, you really can understand just how huge he is compared to myself (and I am not the smallest of people, just off six feet tall) This is something that the photos taken by the zoo will show a lot better than these taken from a distance.

What a fantastic afternoon, and my apologies for the delay of uploading these photos.

All the best,

James
