Very difficult to capture big cats, tigers and lions are tricky as they are protected by wire meshes!

The otter on the right has perfected the skill of begging! They were squeaking at the top of their voices. At least, they were not squabbling! LOL!
Lovely squirrel monkey!

Really take the big cats with black / brown markings. Quite right, when it's cold, best is not to go to zoo. We went to Chester zoo years ago and it was so cold that animals were staying indoors to keep warm. The day we went was perfect for walking and perhaps not so warm for them. We saw very few lemurs, meerkats or otters. Usually, they swarm the place. Nevertheless a very happy day! The best of our visits so far!

That looks like a lovely zoo. I think the lynx was beautiful. I think it's a lynx!
