Big Cats
 
I bought Mrs Vox a 'Feed the Big Cats' experience for her birthday & as I know we have a few animal lovers on the Org, I thought I'd post a few of the pics.

Feeding ROCKY a little snack

Not even at full stretch !!

ROCKY : "Listen, I'm having that piece of meat with or without your hand attached" !!

NARNIA showing her ladylike 'table' manners !!

ROCKY showing his appreciation for the snacks

This wasn't advertised as part of the package but as you can see Mrs V didn't mind !! (The keeper was keeping a serious eye on Narnia as she can get extremely jealous sometimes !!)

ROCKY & NARNIA chilling out after their snacks (No, I didn't get in the enclosure - the keeper stuck my camera through the bars :cool: )

And finally, from L to R :-

Jordan, Mrs Vox & Alex enjoying the Jumbo Slide in the 'Jungle Gym'

I can thoroughly recommend this as a present to anyone who likes big cats & indeed the whole park in general to anyone who has kids (Paradise Wildlife Park, Broxbourne, Herts) - the only tip I would give is take your own food - it was expensive & naff (except for the cakes in the Jungle Gym area :D )

Nice one SuperV. Where did you book it - is there a website and do they have an age limit?

I booked it with :-

http://www.thanksdarling.com - just look for the 'Animal Magic' section then 'Talk to the Animals'

There is a lower age limit - no under 16's.

I never really appreciated how big they actually are - check this pic out :-

The keeper (about 6ft tall) is standing on the outer guard rail (just over 3 ft in height) & ROCKY can still reach the snack !! :cool:
