I hope you have all had a great Christmas, I have actually been pretty busy this time of year so unfortunately I have had very little visits to zoos. However I did get to Linton last weekend and I do have some pictures for all of you to see which will be posted as soon as possible. But just for you all to see, below is a picture of Zuri from that visit.
You have to admit that he is absolutely magnificent in this photo, he really is a stunning individual, one of the finest in the UK!
I have also heard some fantastic news that Louisa, the daughter of Zuri and Safi born on the 16th May 2009 who now resides at Longleat Safari Park, while her two twin brothers are still at Noahs Ark Zoo Farm at Kent has had cubs! Louisa has had four cubs (two of each gender) along with other lioness Nikita (born at Blackpool Zoo) who has also had four cubs (two of each gender). Here is a link to the Daily Mail and the Longleat website for more details. There will be a post on this news story when I have the time to write it with a lot more information and photos. However meanwhile here is a photo below from the Daily Mail article and does not belong to me.
I am certain that Louisa is the lioness to the right with her head to the side of the camera with Nikita being the one to the left. It is fantastic to see her with her cubs making Zuri and Safi grandparents again!
I will make sure that all photos from my Linton visit and the information and photos regarding Louisa's cubs will be on their own post very soon. I also intend to start the new year with a visit to Whipsnade tomorrow so I will make sure to take many photos for you all to see.
And as always I continue to update and work on the blog to make it easier to use and contain as much information as possible.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year
James
