Pip Russell - Everything from the furry and the slippery to the scaly.
Date:09/10/2009
This week Stacey and I hang out at Alma Park Zoo with everything from the furry and the slippery to the scaly.
This week Stacey and I hang out at Alma Park Zoo with everything from the furry and the slippery to the scaly.
Make sure you tune in this week to check out what happens as we make our way through the park lending a hand to the keepers with the feeding of the animals… Not sure how much we really 'helped' though!
The laughs began when it was donkey feeding time… It didn't take us long to realise they'd go for anything, not just the pellets we had for them- including the paper bag they were in! (It took Stacey a few encounters before she realised not to hold the bag within donkey-mouth range.)
Then it was time to give a snack to the Sun Bear… a pine cone covered in honey, sultanas, coconut... Sounds easy right? Well yes, unless you have bad aim like us and throw the pine cone into the pond and not to the bear! Never fear- we had a backup which she loved.
Our luck began to change though when we got a special visit to the Red Pandas. They are so beautiful and definitely in my top 5 animals! We ventured in with our plate of dried fruit not knowing whether they would be comfortable with 2 strange ladies in their home to come close to us- but their stomachs must have taken over because there was one little fella that just sat with his head down bum up and didn't stop eating the whole time we were in there. Very cute!
Then Stacey got scared by a frog, a n iguana makes its home on my head, we hold the heaviest python I've ever felt, get covered in goats and slobbered on by camels….. Good times!!!
