We visit the zoo almost every week. It’s our thing. Over the past nine months, we’ve got to know the animals pretty well: where they like to hang out, their behaviours and quite a few names, too. But these tree-huggers had proved most elusive. We had only managed to catch glimpses here and there.
Only by a series of unfortunate events (not for us!) were we lucky enough to spend probably the best part of half an hour watching these stunning sisters interacting and feeding. Their usual keeper was off ill, leaving the keeper in charge of sea lions to do their morning feed. However, he happened to be running rather late (and we were quite early to the park that morning). This has got to be one of my favourite moments so far.
