Went to London Zoo yesterday. hadn't been there in years, was really looking forward to it.
And it sucked. Big time.
1st stop the "Reptile House" with pics of snakes and stuff. Except in each display case what did I see? Logs. I think I saw the back of a snake in one, but mostly logs. It was crap. "The Spitting Cobra", cool! No, a log.
You should have keepers that lean in with a stick and angry up the snakes so you can actually see them.
Instead of logs. I can see logs anywhere, look, there's one right outside my window.
Rubbish.
Saw the Lions.
Except we saw 1 lion. It was sleeping. Again, there should have been some sort of prodding to make it move. But it just slept, and you could only just see the damn thing. "The master of the jungle, impressive and regal" said the card.
I saw a flea-bitten, sleeping stupid lion.
Monkeys.
Usually these are comedy gold. Pure, absolute simian-hilarity. Except the Silverback just sat there and looked bored and the 2 chimps hung up the top of the cage and stared at the floor.
I think they were monged on something, because I've seen monkeys on the television and they move and do things.
These apathetic apes just chilled and did nothing at all.
Mammals.
Ok, now this made me angry. It was billed as "Giant Anteater".
I was expecting house-sized. But this thing was no bigger than a family dog. Hardly giant is it? It just shuffled about and then went into it's hut thing. "Giant"? No. It should have been called "Staggeringly Normal Anteater"
We saw two orange wolves. Orange wolves? Ever heard of those? Nor me, I think they were foxes and they just made up some crap about them being rare and from somewhere else. They just lay there asleep as well. Disappointing? Yes. Predatory Canines? Nope.
And no elephants. They were on the map thing, but nobody had seen them or could find them. Biggest animals to walk the land and nobody could find them. Bunch of pants. Penguins stank and hid.
All in all, a rubbish day out. Although I did fit 2 doughnuts in my mouth at once. But I almost choked and had to poke them with some keys to create air holes.
Don't go to London Zoo, it's rubbish.

Gah, stuipid double post. :(
I went to Howletts zoo, it's in Kent btw, anyway, it was equally rubbish. Lemurs? Pah, they were cardboard cut-outs inside a hut, well, they might aswell have been, as they did nothing. Highlight of the day? When all the Gorillas starting peeing on people as they walked past, what do they make them drink? They keep going and going and going...
:D
:D
Even slight injuries would've been cool.
All the animals just hid from everyone and slept. The camels were awake but they just stared like they wanted a fight with me.
I reckon I could take a camel if it came to it.

It's funny enough as it is. I can't beleive you went to London Zoo and didn't see the Slender Loris.

There is a safia that used to be in N.Ireland but loads of people were injuried by lions to monkeys.
I think the zoo would be fun if they let the animals out.
And dressed the gorillas like old women and gave them golf buggies

The penguins and the Show are hilarious, as was the Slender Loris
We went about 3pm.
Dont tell me, they were on lunch.
And I saw the sign that said about the mental swaying bear. That would've been interesting. It just sat at the very top and slept.
Honestly, worst day out ever.
Go to a pets corner somewhere, at least they have donkeys you can punch.

The penguins are fun they slip on the ice and slide into the water.
