London Zoo

Today I finally went to the London Zoo. It is right in the middle of London in Regent's Park-it's been there since the 1800s. It's a great zoo, they're really creative with their space like the National Zoo-although the London Zoo costs 18 quid to get in!! It rained for awhile but it thinned all the kiddies out!!

An African warthog-you can't see his tusks very well.
A Young giraffe

African Hunting Dog
The Snowden Aviary-designed by Lord Snowden, Princess Margaret's ex husband
A Sloth-they had just opened a new open air rainforest exhibit-he was so close you could have touched him!
Wallabys
The poor meerkats hundled under the heat lamp, wondering how the hell they ended up in the rainy UK!!
Kookaboura-from Australia
Lion- the London Zoo's lions are Asian lions, they only exist in the wild in one forest in India
