Hi BR,
Excellent photos and captions. Those pussy cats are beautiful. I'm glad you had a good family day out, and thanks for sharing it with us.
EDIT. Some more photos appeared after I posted. Elephants are my favourite wild animal. I love them and love to see photos of them. Thanks.
Cheers, Linda.

Thank you Linda, there's a few more on the first thread now.
Whoops, forget this cute fella,Red Panda.
Wow .... those rhinos are something else!! Brilliant photos.
Thanks again, Linda. I have always had a fascination for Rhino's. They look so docile but have immense power and can be lethal creatures.
So sad how they are persecuted in the wild, but hopefully there is a lot of awareness now and more orginisations are doing their upmost to help them.
Long live the Rhino's .
