Hamerton Zoo

We decided to visit Hamerton Zoo yesterday as it was a pretty dull and grey day which would make wild bird photography difficult. Hamerton has improved the facilities for  Cats with larger enclosures all of whom looked very lean and content. It would be great if small zoos like this could concentrate only on some families as I don't find the facilities for the lemurs, monkeys etc so pleasing but unforutnately to get funding for their conservation breeding programmes they need to attract a wide public.

Big Cats and Small fox

Hamerton Zoo has recently acquired two more white Bengal tigers and they are in tip top condition. The Cheetahs have great pens with long grass to hide in and bushes to shelter under. The Corsac foxes are growing their long winter coats.

Cheetahs in the Snow



We visited Hamerton Zoo near Huntingdon yesterday and had intermittent snow storms. The Cheetahs clearly did not like the snow and went inside fairly quickly.
In the third picture, the camera chose to focus on a snowflake rather than the cheetah but I like
the effect.
