These pics were taken from within the house at earlier in the year.

It was early morning feeding time, where the keepers laid out pallets, real and mock ‘flowers’ containing a unique glucose mix of goodness for these beauties.

It was as if they were in wait.

Then ‘action’ 🎬 😅

Otter photos seem to be popular - so here's mine. These 2 live at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. They were fascinated by arborists working in a tree near their enclosure.

This is a typical early morning feeding time at the house at

The butterfly keepers put out feeders full of a glucose mix of water, acacia honey is a main ingredient - and other essential nutrients to mimic their natural feeding habitat.

They also provide flower cuttings from the surrounds, as can be seen here.

They’re happy little Vegemite’s!!

Even on an overcast morning, this lake and garden located within the is divine.

We even had a couple of little visitors paddle up for a ‘good morning’ visit!

At the they house just gorgeous !!

I must say I’ve never seen unhappy giraffe, they never give much away, but these ones appeared to me that they were living their best lives. Even in a zoo environment. Which is beyond pleasing!

My sons and I observed with interest and awe at these majestic beauties that were eating (later). It was early before the zoo opened and they WERE hungry once the food arrived.

The two males amongst them were playing nicely (we were told).

Their colouring and markings are beautiful.

The has !!

I believe these are .

There was a family taking in the morning sun and they were active as anything. They had just eaten.

These cute creatures remind me of the cheeky and exuberant in the kids movie .

Was my boy’s (and my) most favourite movie for a good while, not long ago!

🎶 I like to move it, move it!

The is a must visit - and so too the lions!

They’re gorgeous.

I have mixed feelings about animals kept in captivity but the enclosures and conditions (feeding methods, living and downtime / care) here are meticulously planned and delivered to each animal it seems.

Many animals are on the endangered species list due to many ‘human’ reasons, breeding programs and conservation here are a prime focus we were advised.

Observing the behaviour of these lions closely tells me they’re living a pretty good life. You can see it in their demeanour - and their eyes.

During our recent zoo visit we saw wild (well, um… resident!!) - aren’t they just gorgeous?

We were there before opening time as we did a ’glamping’ overnight stay and the zoo keepers feed them first thing in the morning, in their accustomed hang-out place.

So the timing was perfect for some colourful and playful snaps!

Hope you enjoy.

The enclosure at houses over 500 of these gorgeous creatures living their best life.

Most were exotic, colourful and just beautiful.

This was only but one of around an estimated 500 in the enclosure at this time.
