That's the only overhead shot I have at the moment - next time the snow leopards and the lions!

For now, hoping you all remembered your mother's yesterday:

Thanks all! Mothers Day in the UK was last sunday, I must admit I didn't know it was different in the US :blush
I got sick of not being able to see the variant skins so finally got myself a top notch computer, no regrets!

Just realised I forgot the first thing you see in the zoo - the entrance:

Here's an overhead of the snow leopards exhibit - you can see a bit of the lion enclosure as well:

And here are the lions! I don't usually have them but I really wanted to try out the cat climber and see what it was like:

You may have noticed the staff training area in teh middle, this is just something I'm experimenting with to see if it helps them do their job any better...
The results? Well my next post should answer that

Here are the zookeepers doing what they do best:

Same as ever!

EDIT - weird...that zookeepers sitting on mid-air - didn't notice that before :mellow

Look out behind you...

And here's the tiger exhibit as seen from the guests point of view. I messed this one up a bit, made it too small. Whenever they have cubs I have to get rid of the father and one of the cubs :sad

I wanted to try out the pit idea, but the tigers kept falling in! :>< Hence the post and rope fence...

Here are my further experiments with the staff centers - this time I intially tried to set it up on a raised platform to give the animals more space, but had trouble putting fences around it:

Any improvement from the staff? Not really - I regularly have to clean up the red panda exhibit

Next time to creatures that enjoy the water!
