Title: Bit random but where can i go in the uk to see a baby bloody lion?
Post by: LowlifeDubber on 16 December 2011, 06:34: My missus has been watching the Lion man on sky for a year or so and she is desperate to see a baby lion cub.I thought it would be nice to pre book some tickets to go see some of the little furry things.

Id rather not travel over 2 hours or so(From LN6 0WE) but if there was a good chance id see one then i would go a bit further.Failing that just a decent zoo/safari park/We would go in her car so not too fussed about monkeys pulling her aerial off! :grin:

Any ideas?

Yes ive used google :tongue: but want some 1st hand experience. :wink:

Post by: JC on 16 December 2011, 06:45: cant be arsed to see if its within 2 hours, or if its got baby lions

but this place seems to be popular with people who liked getting there cars damaged , cos they then came to me to fix bits :laugh:
