No heffalumps?

A lap of the Dublin Zoo much changed since my last visit. A much fuller canopy and cover, the animals seem happier and more accessible. Despite being in a group too old to look for heffalumps, we had a very nice excursion that delighted a younger Grumpy than will walk the Trailwaker with me (in just twenty days).

Elephant, lion, rhino and giraffe always entertain. Fruits bats, tarantula and Burmese pythons evoked their usual paraesthetic skin crawl. The sated Sumatran and Amur tigers, the restive timber wolves and the scene stealing meerkats in the restaurant were the highlights for me.

A mere 4.5 km among the swan, mallard and tufted duck feeeding millieu.
