Twycross Zoo!!

Last week I went to Twycross Zoo!! One of the first things that happened was a play fight between two gibbons! One of the gibbons was cuddling a orang-utan toy! However the other gibbon decided to start bullying the other, but he was quickly taken away when it was feeding time. Then we noticed one of the real orang-utans was drinking a lot of cows milk,which i thought was odd until i was told that it was going to be a mummy orang! Then we went to see the elephants, and the new baby elephant, Ganeshe, was with them!It turned out that we were just in time for the elephant training routine which was really interesting, and it was rather funny when we saw Ganeshe trying to copy the other elephants, especially when they did the lifting up their feet thing and little Ganeshe tumbled over! Then we visited the penguins and it turns out that the eggs that we saw there last time we went had hatched and there was cute little baby Humboldt penguins! We went to check up on the gorillas and they still looked as grumpy as last time we saw them! The next animals we went to look at were the Bonobo's and we figured out which one was Diatou, the Bonobo that i adopted!
Then we went to see the giant turtles, and it turned out that they were still as slow! I had a brilliant day so here are the pictures!
