It was very hot yesterday (for the UK) and the otters at SLWAP were having great fun in the water.

Nice shots! Otters are very cute, we've been to a sanctuary in Suffolk before and had loads of fun.

What/where's SLWAP may I ask?

SLWAP is South Lakes Wild Animal Park, Dalton-Furness, South Cumbria. Not large like many zoo parks but you can get close. The lemurs run free around the park, the new Condor and Vulture aviery is walk into, so you get very close. Also many other animals wander around with the visitors. Feeding of the Tigers is amazing, they make them climb poles to get to their food (same with the Lions). I am luckey as its only a 10 min drive, and £1 entrance for members.
Anyone visiting the Lake District, it is well worth the visit.
Check out their web site.

Second shot is great, like the detail of his hand

Nice shots, and it sounds like a really cool park! I don't know what I'd do if I came across a lemur running about.
