I am not a great lover of zoos, it has to be said, especially when it comes to the larger and higher animals. But, as my son works there and is regularly given free entry tickets, and as the weather was fair, it seemed like a good day to go.

These guys looked pretty cheesed off with life, but I am afraid that if it weren't for zoos, many of these inhabitants would no longer be with us. How much better would the world be if we just left these guys alone to get on with their own lives?

No apologies for putting this one in "People".

(Note to self - a monopod would be very handy if there's a next time...)
