Last year I spent one of the best days of my life surrounded by wildlife at the Tygerberg Zoo. My bow, his 4-year old nephew and I visited the zoo. We wanted little T-man to see and experience the animals. At this stage we were blissfully unaware that not too far into the future we would learn that the Tygerberg Zoo is closing. The zoo has been sold and everyone is gearing up to close down. The zoo is closing due to financial difficulties and its rumoured that it will close officially end of 2012. Tygerberg Zoo is due for their final lockup in December. In a last effort to generate funds to cover their overheads, maintainance and salaries, the park has slashed the prices to get more feet into the zoo. Before the zoo closes, do yourself a favour and go and check out the most beautiful owl I have ever seen... The white owl. Just a pity I wasn't able to capture this majestic animal.
Here are a few pictures to entice you go and visit the Tygerberg Zoo before it closes at the end of the year.

This is Angus. This chimp has was saved from a Taiwanese boat in 1985.
(Hilarious commentary from a few visitors while feeding Angus. Guess they didn't see the notice saying -Don't feed the animals!)
