Tour guide Georgie's day

 

Today was a quiet day in the zoo but my talks were still well attended, which is heart warming.  Visitors were in the main new to what we do but it was lovely to chat to a couple that make sure they visit at least twice a year.  They said there was always something new to see when they come and they loved our new meerkats.  I spent some time today trying to teach everyone how to 'talk tiger'.  Tigers don't purr: of all the big cats, only cheetahs are purring cats and they don't have the ability to roar as the others do.  To show pleasure and greet one another tigers blow air down their noses to make a 'chuffing' sound, officially called 'prusten'.  
 More news next Monday, thanks for reading!! Georgie
