My son and I spent a pleasant day at Bristol Zoo today, here's a few shots:
This is the closest I've ever been to a Lioness...four feet away and shot through a toughened glass screen:
Now here's concentration:
Red Arrow seals:
This one needs no comment:

I have bizarrely seen cows swim across a river in perfect Vic formation. Admittedly it was Bangladesh so they were used to swimming, but it's not something you expect!
Darn wish we had a decent Zoo for Tag here in Vegas -- If we want to go - we have to drive five hours to San Diego
The seals remind me of the Otter tank at Cannery Row in Monterrey - they were either floating on their backs on the surface or roaring around like manmen just missing each other
..and a beautiful day, considering that it's the end of October.

....but I think in this case that the makers didn't have the same literary tastes

Brilliant photos Derek and pleased that the weather was nice. Long time since I last went to Bristol Zoo, in fact, I took the wife and kids when we stopped with my parents who used to live in the Wye Valley.
Just need to get out a bit more me!!
