This past weekend, I headed towards Marwell Zoo for something of a family meetup. It was a nice day, the rain held off with just a few spots threatening but then scampering away. I took a few photos but mostly wandered around chatting and wondering why the animals are always asleep when I go to see them.

It was slightly disappointing to be at a zoo quite a few hundred miles away from where there’s a potential baby panda going to make an appearance soon. But it’s not like anyone really knows what’s going on there - the panda may or may not be pregnant, with another panda that may or may not be the father, and no one will known until a baby panda magically pops out.

I’ll stick with the animals that are definitely in existence for now.
