Zoo (245/365)

My mother went to the zoo near my parents' home a few weeks ago with my brother and sister-in-law and their children, and was telling me how much she enjoyed it, so we thought we'd give it a try while we're here.

Two otters in profile, facing towards the left of the frame.

They had some lovely otters, and a possibly-debauched or possibly just tired sloth.

It was a nice zoo - fairly small, but big enough to spend a couple of hours wandering round. And it was really nice to go out and do something fun together, for pretty much the first time in eighteen months.

After the zoo I went for a lovely swim in the Little Ouse near Thetford, which was incredibly clear, cold and surprisingly fast-flowing (though shallow enough that in the bits where making headway against the current was difficult I could just wade instead).

Those pictures are really good. I especially like the sloth, but I have a soft spot for sloths.
