Postcard from Sweden: Boras Zoo

Time for a road trip today....


We picked the perfect day for it, rolling hills, tranquil lakes and blue blue skies...


Boras Zoo has some lovely open paddocks and doesn't really feel like a zoo and the "normal" zoo animals seem pretty happy, we scooted on past familes large and small.....


 


 

 

 
What we'd really really come to see was the unusual (for us).  Starting with the red panda ....an elusive little cutie...

 
 

and if you wait patiently (we did) or come back a couple of times to say hello (we did) eventually you are rewarded by someone coming down a few branches to say "Hi",

 


Time to investigate some proper Nordic animals...
Big ones....

 

Smaller ones (sadly without the adamantium claws)

 


Cuddlier looking ones....

 


Some tried to be elusive.....but eventually revealed a love of swimming...

 




 


We had to look really hard to see some other swimmers...


 

But the stars of the day were this family....


I could have stood and watched them doing bear stuff all day....
