Yorkshire Wildlife Park - Pic Heavy

I went with the Boss number 1 to the above yesterday with our husbands and sproglets. I didn't even know this place existed.Clicky


The most exciting thing for me was getting to see these lions
CLICKY

You may remember their plight. It was so lovely to see them in luxurious living conditions, obviously now so happy and relaxed. Below are a few pics of the day and of course, pics of the lions!




Giant Bunny


Lemur


Gay Dads!


This hog looked like a few people I could mention!


Babes in the wood.


Me and my Pudding!


The boss and Paige


This is the largest rodent you can get! I would tell you what it was called, however the boss stole, yes STOLE my brochure so we will have to wait for her to remind me!


They swim and have partially webbed feet!


A monkey!


This I think is called a Naru and it really did look to us like a cross between a deer and a bunny.


These lot had the right hump!


A tiger! He had his own waterfall.


Oscar doing his Elton John impression for Paige.


Paige and Oscar


Couldn't resist this, feets!!!!


Zoe the Zebra


Gorgeous wallabies.


Mothers meeting.


This is Johnny the oldest Lion. 27 years old. Thank god he has now found happiness.










Johnny again


Nanny Goat


Sooz's hubby with a goat!


Me with a goat. DAme and Sooz didn't want to go goat fondling. Phil and I were very excited at the prospect and this goat was super friendly. I want one now!

Looks like you had an amazing day

Lovely place and nice weather

All the animals look well cared for with good accommodation

Am afraid those babies and baby feet done it for me nothing more scrummy than bare baby feet and little teeny toes they are both adorable

Oohh i wish my son was little again aged 11 his teeny tiny feet are now a size 9

I see the one of the actual goat molestation didn't make it on here! Poor goat, being humiliated like that.

The giant 'rodent' was a Capybara and the 'rabbit deers' are Maras! Honestly, you take the peasants out for the day in an attempt to educate them and all they do is start chasing goats.

Lol! We were both super excited to cuddle that goat. It was the coolest goat I have ever met!

And Josie - I was super impressed with how well the animals are cared for. Would just like to have seen the two giant bunnies living as a bonded pair instead of separately. And yep. There seriously is nothing scrummier than babies feet!

What fantastic photos, and those babies are absolutley gorgeous

Johnny the lion, awesome.

Charlotte do you remember when we were thinking of getting a goat each, because we thought it would be funny to take them for walks round the Barratt estate!!

I would love a goat. I had one as a child!

Fabulous pics Charlotte, looks like you all had a terrific time. Paige and Oscar are gorgeous .
The story of the lions is heartbreaking, but lovely that they will spend the rest of their lives in such wonderful surroundings and being well cared for. Love the giant bunny. x

Thank you for lovely pics darling. Friends of ours own Porfell Wildlife Farm in Cornwall and they have the same animals (no lions though). Always needing money though, I wish I could win the lottery.

Where in Cornwall is this?! I want to go!!! maybe for all the southerners who can't make the long trip up to the HH Meet in the north should meet up and go there!!

Amazing pics, and your newborns have grown soo much It's lovely to see you all - gay dads

Gay Dads is where it is at!

Looked like an amazing day out

Wow! What a lovely place! Looks like you had an amazing day!

lovely that the "betrothed" are getting to spend lots of quality time together

Don't worry Katie they are well chaperoned, they'll be no funny stuff here!

Hello Lizzi love

It is in a place called Lanreath which is between Looe and Polperro. We have been friendly with Joy and John for some time, in fact they helped us move to Cornwall.

It is well worth a visit and you can be hands on with some of the animals and John always has the time to spare to introduce you. Yes, I think it would be a great idea of yours love, meeting there, you won;t be disappointed love.

Hugs
