Damn, i missed the 1st episode

West Midlands safari park tomorrow, what other collections will be featured?

I really enjoyed tonights episode, the scene with the rhino calf trapping its leg in her mothers horns was amazing, and the colour of the rhino too, a pinky red colour (is this a new sub species).

David Gill too seemed a very enthusiastic character too, this was also my first look at the park and to me it just seemed a little shabby, with those wooden walkways everywhere, they said at the beginning of the programme the park was only 12 acres big, this can't be true can it?

As I have not visited South lakes I found the programme interesting . I was not aware of the important birth of the female babirusa baby - now that was a really cute baby ! How do they fit it all in 12 acres , particularly as the rhino/giraffe paddock looked quite big !

I also found the programme less irritating than Zoo Days from Colchester . The rest of the series should be interesting .

Camara angles can be very deceptive,as i found out when i saw Longleats Otter enclosure for the first time it looks alot bigger on the telly than in real life,as for South Lakes Rhino and Giraffe exhibit its at a guess about the same size as the Cottons at London may just a bit bigger.
