Zuri - 18th July 2013

 Now that the Summer has properly arrived it means that the zoo is now getting busier and busier, which is great not only for the zoo, but for myself as a keeper I love seeing the zoo being appreciated and the animals love all the attention too.

Zuri is looking absolutely stunning in this weather and his and Safi's enclosure is looking fantastic. Zuri turned seven on the 3rd July so he is now a middle aged grown up proper lion. So when I remembered my camera I was delighted to see Zuri posing away when I went to see him on one of my daily evening visits last week. All of these photos were taken on the 18th July. Whilst Zuri was in the outdoor enclosure Safina was spending the evening in the house, it is lovely and cool in there with all the tiled walls!

Zuri needs no more introduction really, and I hope you all love these photos of him. He really is a stunner isn't he?!

Enjoy!

Now that the Summer Holidays have approached us it is now the busiest time of the year for us. So at Linton Zoo we are providing some extra activities.

The lion talk given by myself (always check with me on here or ring the zoo up if you want to hear it especially) will be on most days over the Summer.

We also have two special late night opening events. The first event on the 27th July will involve our reptiles, comprising of VIP Tortoise Tours and snake feeding. It will also involve a special animal encounters session were everyone will be able to meet some of our reptiles who are not always on show to the public, they are always very popular especially with the kids.

The Lion Evening on the 10th August (World Lion Day!) Will not only celebrate the special day but also celebrate Riziki and Karla's tenth birthday. The evening will comprise of special talks given by myself as well as lion feeding and other events. I'm sure that this will be a very popular as our lion feeding are always when the zoo is closed, it will be interesting for everyone to see.

Both events will just comprise of normal admission fee with no extra charge for the feeds and the talks, so why not make your money worthwhile and get at 10 when the zoo opens and leave at 7:30 when we close!!

It will be great to see everyone there, and here is just one last photo of Zuri for you all to see.

Thanks everyone
