| Keilyn ready to explore Hanwell Zoo. |
Hanwell Zoo is typical of the many smaller zoos dotted in and around London, with the usual animals to see. Rabbits, ducks, chickens, donkeys and goats are a staple of this sort of zoo.
However, at Hanwell Zoo there are exotic birds, some of which I have never seen anywhere else, red-crowned crane, black cheeked lovebirds, red fody, glossy starlings, white faced whistling ducks and more.
Then there are the mammals, like Meerkats, capybara, porcupine, armadillo, alpaca and more.
In the nocturnal enclosure you may, if you have the patience, spot the gray slender loris, loping through the branches.
The same could be said for the Margay, a cat that likes to sleep more than it likes to walk around.
With a fair-sized playground, with sandpits, water features, slides and climbing apparatus, there is something for children of all ages to enjoy, when they tire of the animals.
