I had a fabulous experience feeding the Ring-Tailed Lemurs a few years ago, at the Hamerton Zoo Park, Huntingdonshire.
Hamerton Zoo Park, located in England, is known for its wide variety of exotic animals, including big cats like tigers and jaguars, as well as primates, birds, and reptiles. It’s praised for its conservation efforts and educational programs, offering visitors a chance to learn about wildlife while enjoying the zoo’s beautiful surroundings.
Ring-tailed lemurs are charismatic primates known for their distinctive black and white ringed tails. They have expressive faces with bright golden eyes, and their fur is predominantly grey with white bellies. They’re arboreal creatures but spend a significant amount of time on the ground, moving quadrupedally. These social animals live in groups called troops, led by dominant females. They’re primarily found in Madagascar’s forests and are known for their unique vocalizations and intricate social behaviors.

I had a lovely Easter weekend visiting Shepreth Wildlife Park, Nr Cambridge. It began with a walk immersing myself in the wonders of the animal kingdom.
As I wandered through diverse habitats, I encountered all types of creatures. From majestic Tigers basking in the sun to playful monkeys swinging from branch to branch, every step unveils a new adventure.
The air was filled with the sounds of exotic birds and the chatter of excited visitors, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
Along the way, informative signs and dedicated park keepers provide insights into conservation efforts and animal behaviours, deepening your understanding and appreciation for the natural world.
My walk at the zoo was a journey of discovery which brought great delight.

Alpacas can be quite delightful! They’re adorable creatures with their fluffy coats and curious personalities. Interacting with them can be calming and enjoyable, especially if you’re in a peaceful setting like a farm or countryside. Plus, they’re known to be gentle and friendly animals, so it’s usually a positive experience.
Alpaca feeding time can be quite an experience! Alpacas typically graze on grass or hay, so feeding them involves providing ample amounts of these. They are usually fed twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening. Alpacas are gentle and docile animals, so feeding time can be peaceful and enjoyable. They often eat in a group, nibbling on their food leisurely. ππ
I like this actor, Johnny Depp….and there he was at Shepreth. πSeeing a crocodile in the wild can be quite thrilling and sometimes intimidating. Their formidable size and prehistoric appearance can evoke a sense of awe and respect for the power of nature. However, it’s important to maintain a safe distance and observe them from afar, as crocodiles are wild animals and can be dangerous if provoked or approached too closely.It was good to see the Donkey’s again. πThis was just lovely.This is me, as a blonde
