Zoo!
Today we went to London Zoo, which was grand. Highlights included multiple tiny primary-coloured (bright blue, yellow, orange and red) poison arrow frogs, meerkats, some enthusiastically swinging non-surly gibbons, a very sleepy tiger and a great leafcutter ant exhibit with ants parading along ropes strung between boxes containing their nest and the leaves they were harvesting.
However, I've got to say the otters were probably the highlight. I even took some footage (don't bother with sound)
They're asian short-clawed otters, so they live in a close family group - unlike the european otter, which is solitary.
