Are those animals free ranging? Some of them look really close, and there isn't that much glass or wire fencing. Great pics!

Thanks, everyone, glad you like the photos -it was a perfect day for them!

Most of the animals at Dalton are confined by low walls and water around their habitats, although some are free-ranging (including Lemurs, Kangaroos, and a lot of the birds), some have high rope walkways from one area to another, and some, like the tigers, do have high mesh around their enclosures.

There are lots of high wooden walkways around the park, which take you above a lot of the enclosures, which is how I got the photo of the Tigress without the mesh in the way.

Take a look at their website for more information - [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

(Yes, it is now officially "The South Lakes Wild Animal Park" but the locals still use the name it had when it opened!)
