Another day, another visit: this time to the zoo at Les Sables d'Olonne, a really excellent afternoon out. Last time we went was with Nad - I think Maddie enjoyed it ALMOST as much!!
Not a real tortoise below!

Comparing the meerkat?

A sleepy jaguar, enjoying the rays of sunshine.

Ahhhhhhhh, I hear you say!

An amazingly swift giant anteater, possibly one of nature's weirdest creatures!

Three females picnicking ....

... and the alpha male on lookout!

I love the pelicans and the capybara, which can weigh up to 80 kg!

A majestic Lion King.

Looks like this seat has a handful! (The ice cream was good too, said Maddie.)

Great zoo. Tried to swap Mads for one of the monkeys but they wouldn't let me.
