Lemur Woo-War!!! (as Borat may say)
What an amazing day. I feel slightly closer to nature today after opening the new lemur enclosure at Whipsnade Zoo.
Not only did i cut the ribbon - i also provided a head for the lemur's to jump on. That's right. I was in the enclosure with them.... check out this picture!
If that wasn't enough, we also had a tour of the zoo. Baby elephants and giraffe's were a real highlight. However - the real big moment for me was working with one of the old pro's of the animal industry. Barclay the sealion. I fed him bits of fish and threw hoops into his pool and he dived in after them. Amazing!!!!
So - thanks to everyone who made the day happen. Can't wait to do it again.
Breaking news - the Duke of Edinburgh is opening the Gorilla bit of London zoo today. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon!!! No original ideas anymore.
Bye now and..... Lemar light on for me!!! ha ha ha etc

its really shocked me what dom looks like. His voice on the radio makes him sound quite geeky, but i think hes the best looking out of all of them!! even if he does have no hair and two kids!

WOW! you are very bald, dom. I was just wondering if lemurs are attracted to light, because there is a beautiful gleam from your head in the photo where they are climing on you.
LEMURS RULE!!

I agree with all the comments about Dom not sounding how he looks. He sounds quite sexy! I love the Chris Moyles show, having been recently converted to it and have nearly crashed the car on a couple of occasions I have been laughing so much. Keep up the good work. Maria X
