    They have a nice little variety of animals there.
    I did get a chuckle out of your "sorry about the bars" in the lion's photo. I thought... "I WANT those bars between us." :D

    More good nature foto's. I sure did enjoy seeing these animals.
    I thought that horse looked like a large dalmatian.

    Is the rare horse one of these Eileen?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Przewalski%27s_horse

    although there are ones that look more like yours in google images...


    What a shame that they seem to be keeping the place a secret.Why don't you write to them with your ideas?

    Yes that's it Kiasmum. :-D I've discovered that the other one with the spots is an Knabstrupper.

    A lion, a fox, and a lynx. Now I remember why I don't like zoos.

    Before I read all the posts I thought the third down was a Fjord pony of Norway. I used to take a lot of horse pictures for Eqqus magazine and Horse illustrated. Never ridden one or anything like that.You look to have had a great trip Eileen.

    Nice pics.
    I like racoons... but we don't have any.
    Last week I saw it on the news somewhere in the south by port Constanta (Black Sea) they found a racoon in the streets and it was a real job to get it off the tree, and put it in a cage and so on.
    They all assumed it must have come by one of the ships...
