Highland wildlife..well, some of them are.














Snowy Owl chick. Schreeches for his mum!

Siberian tiger...luckily not a native to Scotland. This is a tiger cub and weighs 140kg.


The Timber wolf...bit like Pip only hungrier!! Also no longer a native to the Highlands.


A Polish pony. responsible for caving in the bonnet of a car, not mine and I didn't take my new Skoda having heard the tale.


A Bison...um, from the States...


We did see the Scottish wildcat which looked like your ordinary moggie only with a fat striped tail and plenty of deer, also the Capercaillle which is a huge bird. The trouble is that these photos included their wire mesh so weren't very visable.


It was a lovely afternoon watching the animals in the nicest of enviroments in sunshine with the mountains a s a backdrop. The animals all looked at ease in large enclosures...only we didn't see the Red Panda, the beavers, the otters or the Elk.
