They still have the older pair of lions in that enclosure, which is actually the 3rd one they built at the zoo. The one prior to that is the snow leopard cage now. The tiny cage that held their original lion Dusty, is just along from that. There was a row of 3 cages on the opposite side of the path from the tamarins, 2 of which held Asiatic Black bear.
White-collared lemur also born on Tuesday. We happened to be there about 2 hours after it was born and saw the youngster clinging to its mother, umbilical cord still attached.
Ah, thanks for that. I've only been there once (just realised it was 2 years ago and I deleted most of my photos from the visit ) and I couldn't remember the layout :thumbs: I might pop over tomorrow regardless of the weather.
I was there last week but didn't see the cubs - both parents were outside together without cubs & the inside area window was boarded up as usual.
Snap but I am not popping over to see the Lion cubs,in my case its trying to get some decent shots of the White-collared Lemurs still!
I got a fantastic shot of one when I went with you last year, zoogiraffe - unfortunately it was mid-**** and as such posting the photo on Zoochat would just attract a certain calibre of comment, so that one will remain in my archives!
Lion cubs are venturing out and I was lucky to catch them in the sun this morning Hopefully the chap I was talking to by the Tigers caught them later ... I believe he too is a 'zoochatter' which I realised on the way home as I'd spoken to him before at Hamerton. If the cubs came out for you, I hope your camera batteries still had some life in them.
Per their website, Linton now holds Eastern Wallaroo -the only zoo in the UK holding them and one of only a small handful of zoos in Europe holding them.
