Hi B R
Colchester Zoo is brilliant as you said and I agree its such a great place to visit, we went there in 2008 and must have taken around 200 photos a lot of them of the same animals as you, I love the lay out of the zoo as well as you never know what your going to come across next. I love your photos it brought back some happy memories, I have put a couple of mine in below I think I read or saw a news report that this White Tiger has since died is that right? :o(
How about this big chap?
Thanks again for a nice reminder of a past holiday, and I hope you didnt mind me chucking a couple more pics in?
regards
Shane

Hi Shane.
Not a problem, mate. Your more than welcome.
Sadly, Sasha the rare White Bengal tiger died in December 2010, due to ill health. He was 15 when he died. He became notoriously well known for mauling his mate to death in 1999.
A great shot of the male Lion, a fine looking fella.

Thanks for confirming the death of Sasha, I didnt know about him killing his mate though even sadder story :O(
