On Friday I finally got to go to Wingham Wildlife Park in Kent to see the jaguar cubs that were born in December.
There they were when I arrived, playing like...er...kittens. Needless to say, I was thrilled.
At present I have not managed to find a way to play the video I took on my iPad, but here is a still that can convey some of their cuteness:
Meanwhile, I found a beautiful 8-month-old puma girl who had been hand-raised.
All she wanted was humans. As soon as anyone walked past the apparently empty enclosure, she bounced out to see them.
And when it happened to be a keeper, inside the outer wire, she fixed all her attention on him. Later one even gave her an ear-rub.
