Having two little monkeys, oops I mean children, in our house it is no secret that we love animals. The girls always want to go and feed the chickens or horses and the toddler seems to have found a strange recent obsession with the cows in the farmers field, so we have been talking recently about taking them to a safari park. We are therefore delighted to share this competition in associated with The Aspinall Foundation, one of the leading safari and animal conservation parks in the UK working in conjunction with Port Lympne and Howletts Wild Animal Parks.

They are running a great competition at the moment and are looking for children of all ages to tell them: “What is your favourite animal and why?” Some of their keepers have already got involved by telling us theirs:

The contest entry is really easy to enter: recording a short video (60 seconds or less), then, uploading the video to either the Port Lympne or Howletts Facebook page along with the hashtag #AnimalsRockComp.

After a family discussion, we decided that the big cats were our favourite (and I don't mean our crazy moggy) but the beautiful lion pride, as the man on the Lilypad very often refers to us as his pride. He *may* also say that a King only bows down to his Queen .... I am kind of hoping that means me!

The winners will be chosen by TV personality and animal lover Paul O' Grady and the prizes include:

·         The chance to be a Junior Ranger, or join the Keeper Academy along with four Gold Cards to both Howletts and Port Lympne animal parks 

·         A personal VIP Safari Experience for four at the Port Lympne Reserve

·         4 Passports to either Howletts or Port Lympne Reserve 

There are no age restrictions on the competition, so adults are welcome to try their luck as well as kids to be in with a chance to win. The end date is 31st May 2015 at 11:59pm. Entries after the closing date will not be accepted.

Good luck!
