On Harrison's birthday we went to Marwell zoo with Jon's parents and Trev, Beth and Archie. Harrison was impressed with the giraffes (both the big and little ones). He was a bit bored with the sleeping tiger, and told him loudly to "WAKE UP TIGER!". I was very shocked when the tiger chose this moment to wake up, scratch his ear and look directly at Harrison. He then wandered over for a drink. Harrison got very distressed when the second tiger remained sleeping, despite his loud and persistent demands.
Harrison enjoyed scooting around on his motor bike, and then pulling it along behind him. The ramps up and down to the viewing platform for the buffaloes were perfect scooting fun, but he did not do much viewing.
He declared a sleeping lizard about 10 cm long to be a "crocodile, snap snap" and also got a little confused between monkeys and lemurs (easy mistake to make).
