Who was watching who Colchester Zoo
A start of something new as my grand daughter starts home schooling. As part of this, we headed to the zoo for the home school sessions.
This month was looking partly at behaviours.
As an animal lover I was excited to accompany her.
We spent time observing different animals to identify behaviours.
The chimp enclosures gave us a surprise. On a wet rainy day, turns out they get grumpy & kick off a bit just like children on wet play!
Taking time to pause & watch, we observed many different behaviours. Weaver birds starting to weave nests, a king vulture who like close up people watching & a cheetah that was curious for a close look of my grand daughter's umbrella!
Special times shared.
And there was a very young chimp who was so cute!
