Exmoor Zoo - September 2020

Post by G-CVIX »

Hi all, here's a few snaps from a visit to Exmoor Zoo in September. We took a little road trip to replace our usual trip to Belgium, so there will be a few more from the trip to come (Bristol Zoo, Cotswold Wildlife Park, Aerospace Bristol, Cotswold Motor Museum, etc).

I hope you enjoy!

ImageFishing Cat @ Exmoor Zoo by Jake, on Flickr - It is rare to see a fishing cat so comfortable with humans, I think this one was hand reared!

Lovely stuff. Saw some caracals earlier this year at Hoo Farm, Telford, absolutely gorgeous creatures.

Liking the agouti.

Thank you both kindly, much appreciated!

Cap - yes indeed, they are lovely animals! Exmoor is home to a fair few of the smaller cat types too, though they're quite illusive!

Thanks again. :)
