Just thought I would sympathise with you on that, we went last year and the bloody babboons did the same to me.

A word of warning to anyone, even if the kids nag you, dont go through the babboon enclosure.

I think I noticed at least a dozen other cars, some of them nearly new completely wrecked.

Same here, went about a month ago, and pulled al mine off, front and rear!!!

Wher can I get these fitted or bought for cheap? I have a ford galaxy Gia 2.3

Breakers Yard, from the yellow pages maybe.

Hee, sorry but I can't help laughing. You should never take a nice car to a safari park. It spoils teh fun if you're worrying.

We went to a safari park in Scotland in an old Sierra.

The monkeys ate the aerial, pulled off the wipers, the giraffes finished off teh wipers and the lions pulled out the rubber seals round the lights.

We were lucky enough to be able to park up in teh lion enclosure, and one came over and started rubbing his cheek around teh corner of the car.
'Ooh,' I said,' he's just like a little !!!!! cat.'

Then we saw teh black rubber between his teeth.

We all roared with laughter, and a good time was had by all.

The emus pecked us, which was a bit scary when I realised hubs had left the window open, just before he swapped seats with me (grrr). And when we left, there wasn't a panel without a dent.

But we had a great tiem, and still laugh about it .

Sorry to laugh but this really made me chuckle! We went to Knowsley a couple of years ago, they didn't like our car much, but managed to snap the back number plate off the car in front in half! We picked the broken bit up (quickly shut the car door) and gave it back to the owner at the end!

LOL!

Went once to Longleat and, to be fair, they have half a dozen signs on the way to the Monkey Enclosure saying "Monkeys cause serious damage, are you SURE you want to go in there? sort of thing?.

Made the mistake of stopping briefly and what seemed like the worlds smallest monkey (maybe 6 inches tall) climbed onto the rear of my roof. I could see him in the door mirror but it was the ripping sound that got my attention. He managed to loosen and tear up the trim along the driver side doors all on his own in two seconds even though it was ratcheted in the other direction. When I went to the VW garage I was told it would be a three man job just to stretch it back down again!

Agree, but I'd be careful about the other extreme as well...my sister-in-law broke down in the monkey enclosure at Knowsley a few weeks ago....

On the plus side, the park did give her a free ticket for a return visit!

When I was 3yrs old I was kicked in the head by a Giraffe at longleat.

Can I lol?

hee hee hee hee, it seems we've all had interaction with the wildlife. I can't help but laugh, we think we're so clever, but a monkey can trash our cars quicker than any scrap merchant.

It's nearly as funny as when the monkeys picked and chucked their fleas at my husband! We didn't go back to FlamingoLand much after that
