The Lions were all asleep so here are few of the other residents.
Don't think that Koala was impressed

Hi Phil
Lovely shots and good memories.
It is a shame we are not still doing the competition to modify/develop the RAWs as that Koala would be lots of fun...

Re: A few more friends from Longleat
Lovely images. Maybe the koala has just heard this week's sad news that he's technically extinct....

Re: A few more friends from Longleat
I didn't realise they were so endangered Jon, indeed very sad. I think that's one of the reasons for bringing the group over to Longleat. They are hoping to bread them. There were 5 but one died. The remaining 4 did look quite at home though and do have quite a nice enclosure. The keeper seems to be a very dedicated chap and spent several months in Oz with them before they made the trip. He told us that they have set up a local farm to grow the eucalyptus just for the Koalas and it's growing well in the UK. Fingers crossed the Koalas thrive here.Comment

Re: A few more friends from Longleat
Thanks for your kind words everyone. Here are a few more of the locals.
Probably a more typical Longleat shot!
The Lions and Cheetahs were heavily cropped and shot through tinted car windows so apologies for any odd colours.Comment
