Kings of the Park

The main attraction at the Yorkshire Wildlife park are the Lions. They have three Prides with about twelve lions in total.

The park launched a massive rescue of Lions from Oradea Zoo in Romania. The Lions were suffering and the Zoo needed help to ensure the Lions were able to live in better conditions than they could provide. In stepped the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, who created a 9 acre enclosure split into 3 areas. You can see the Lions are well and settled. A story with a happy ending.

Fantastic animals.

Stripes

Next up from the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, stripes! First a Zebra.

And then a Tiger. Like most big cats, the Tiger’s were more interested in catching up on some sleep.

Monkeying Around

Next up from the Yorkshire Wildlife Park – Squirrel Monkeys. These were fun to watch, especially when people got too close. They have a reputation for being thieving little buggers and someone nearly lost her sunglasses.

Although not monkeys, I thought I’d throw in a picture of a couple of Ring Railed Lemurs. They were all hiding in the trees and this pair were cuddling in the trees. They do look comfy.
