motetusI had a friend visit for the weekend and needed to entertain her. it was predicted rain, so we planned to brave the horde of families on their Easter outing and visit the indoors Tropical World in Leeds. Of course, the weather forecast was wrong and it was actually lovely and sunny. Oh well, at least it was warm in there, and I got some nice photos.
First up, some sociable little mice-like rodents. Or rat-like, I'm not sure. It's hard to read descriptions when you're trying to avoid being trampled to death by small children.
The star exhibits of Tropical World, the meerkats and their three new babies. Yeah, I suppose they're cute, but I've been so put off meerkats by those stupid car insurance website ads. At least these ones didn't have Russian accents.
Feeding times for the greedy little brats. They weren't as cute eating as the slow lorris was, with it's adorable slow-motion two-handed grabbing - no photos of that I'm afraid, it's nocturnal so the light was non-existent.
Aaand... some flowers.
