50 year old slides down fireman's pole at East London zoo


The East London zoo has a lovely playground for children of all ages.  In this zoo playground photo, Tony shows that he can still slide down a fireman's pole too.  Later, he even showed the boys how to climb up a fireman's pole.  The playground at the East London zoo is a great place for parents to relax with a snack or cooldrink from the zoo kiosk (if they're not also trying out the playground equipment) while the children get rid of a little more energy after having already seen all the animals.  The zoo is also a great venue for children's birthday parties.

East London zoo free birds and birds in cages


Zooty enjoyed feeding the birds at the East London zoo - he fed the birds peanuts.  He fed many animals at the zoo the peanuts that are available for purchase at the zoo kiosk, but he particularly enjoyed feeding the birds, the quite tame doves, that hang around the zoo - although he did feed the birds that were in cages too.  I wonder if the birds in the cages feel sad when they see those free birds so close to them, in the same zoo, yet free?

East London Queens Park Zoo bears


These two bears at the East London zoo enjoyed the peanuts people were throwing down to them.  The bears seem cute, lazy, and relaxed, but I still wouldn't like myself or anybody really, falling into the bears' enclosure - the bears may suddenly become very active indeed!  The East London zoo is a super place for both adults and children to enjoy looking at and watching the behaviour of animals - still wish all the animals had much larger enclosures though.
