I have always loved meercats and the way that they stand up and watch for danger so I just think that they had to come on this blog for their cuteness.

Sea-lion splash
The sea-lion show is a very popular thing at the zoo and we watch it each time we go. There are three main sea-lions and they quite like to splash the little children. Bailey, the oldest female has just given birth to a baby called Oscar who likes to sleep.
Long neck
At the Zoo they have built a new giraffe viewing platform so you can get at the same height as the giraffes. This giraffe was the only one who wanted to come outside.

CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I have been to the Zoo I have never encountered a baby Mara. At first there was one feeding and then came another one out of the nest and that one started to feed as well. I think they are really cute and I want one as a pet!
