Blackpool Zoo

I hadn't been to Blackpool Zoo for many many years so I decided to take a trip out and get some nice animal shots.


From my first impressions the place looked really good.

On entering the park itself you are met with their new exhibit, the Dinosaur walk. This is a path witch takes you on a trip through prehistoric time. Basically a lot of plastic dinosaurs. 

From their you go into the main part of the zoo.

Below is just a few of the 200+ images I took on the day.


As we arrived at lunch time we stopped and had some lunch, and this little guy had his eye on my sandwiches.


Ta-Dar, this little animal tried to impress me with his magic tricks but it just wasn't working.


This poor guy just looked really depressed. 

They have a really good exhibition of Penguins and Sea lions in their 'Active Oceans' Area




"He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty penguin"
That's what this picture made me think anyway. 


Their were only two Otters at the moment but this one was busy sorting out his log collection



Pulling faces for the crowd. The rest were too busy eating.

Then were went to see the Lemurs, These guys are right posers.





Meditation classes were being taught by this Lemur




This just reminded me of a homeless person on the street, All he needed was an old hat to throw coins into. He did look very sad tho.







And we all left with smiles on our faces.

A very good day had by all. A great place to visit and one I'm sure I will visit again.
