    I thought it was cheetah cubs?

    That said it was my mother who told me so she probably had it wrong.

    Have tickets ordered with my clubcard tokens so heading up in a few weeks

    Sumatran actually, just checked them out on the website as it was bugging me... real cuties, can't wait to see them in rl.... if they're visible when we go that is, better not say it to the kids before just in case ;)

    Was there last Sunday, saw the cubs and their great and all but I have to say the zoo makes me slightly sad, especially the hippos, does anybody else feel this way?.

    I used to love the zoo until I went to Africa on Safari. To see animals living in such small spaces compared to their natural habitat is a sad thing. I know Dublin Zoo looks after the animals really well, its just the constraints of the space that isn't ideal.

    Was there yesterday. They're in the large enclosure to the left as you come in the front gate, but whether you see them or not is a gamble. They werent visible early, but in the evening, we got a small glance at them.
