Belgrade Trip – Other Highlights at Belgrade Zoo

I’ve wittered on already about the alligator, the snakes , the hippos and the lack of space at Belgrade Zoo, but it was an interesting place and only cost around £5 to get in. The ticket desk accepts cards, but a school group had decided to wait just in front of the ticket desk, which meant it was quite a battle to actually get to the kiosk and by that point the staff member had given up selling tickets as there was a school group cluttering up the area. After solving that little conundrum, mainly by standing there looking confused, I was handed a receipt and I was good to go.

I wasn’t entirely convinced that the single wire fence between me and that tiger was absolutely adequate to protect me. There was also ample opportunity for kids to shove their hands through, but what could possibly go wrong there?

Perhaps looking just a bit bored?

It was hard to identify which way up this orangutan was meant to go….

The wolf spent a lot of time prowling around following the same route, although I’m not sure what other options he had.

I think this was the largest enclosure in the zoo. It’s not exactly the sweeping plains of Africa.

A big bird, which I think is a condor.

Aaahhhhh…..

Majestic.

Some wet camels.

Very cute, I think it’s a wallaby.

A happy little soul.

The zebra looked quite perky.

As did the penguin.

Wherever zookeepers put a box, the cats will sit in it. Or they might have just been trying to keep dry under the tree.

It’d make a cute pet (and I think it liked me), but I suspect it might be difficult to manage on flights. The zoo gave the fun fact that cheetahs are the only ones of the big cats that can’t fully retract their claws.

I liked watching the flamingos go sauntering by…..

And that was that, a perfectly entertaining way to spend 90 minutes or so. It was quiet, which wasn’t a surprise give the kids are at school, it was raining and it was a weekday in September.
