A woman visiting Chester Zoo was left upset after claiming a mum almost barged her out of the way in a bid to see the animals.
The woman said she was at the jaguar enclosure looking at the animals when a group crowded around her, and one pushy mum asked her to get out of the way.
She said: "I was really looking forward to seeing the jaguars, and fabulously enough, one sat right near where I was walking, so I stopped just in front of the enclosure to admire it.

"I was probably there for about five seconds when everyone started to crowd round, and suddenly this woman came out of the blue and said directly to me 'Excuse me, coming through - I've got kids!' heavily implying (for) me to move out of the way.
"I was shocked and so just moved straight away, but actually on hindsight I'm quite upset."
The woman, who doesn't have children, felt that the mother and her children shouldn't have moved childless couples along, and took to Mumsnet's (AIBU) Am I Being Unreasonable? thread to see what other members of the group thought - reports Cheshire Live.
She said: "I don't have kids, but I have as much right to stand at the front as anyone else, surely?
"I paid for my ticket and I was only there for a few seconds. If people wait their turn, there is plenty of opportunity for everyone to get a good view.
"Am I being unreasonable to feel annoyed at this, and to have the right to stand at the b****y front for a few seconds if I want to?"
Commenting on the original post, one forum member said: "I live half an hour away and spend a fair bit of time there with my three-year-old. Sounds about the usual behaviour from a lot of the patrons".
Others also sympathised and said: "Some people act like their kids are royalty and everyone else should submit to their desires.
"Everyone is entitled to stand near the front for a while, to enjoy a close of view of the animals, it's a question of everyone having patience and parents teaching kids that sometimes they need to wait.
"You can't win with this type of parent though, if you challenged her you'd get called a child hater."
But some thought the mother was right as one person said: "Are you only three foot four tall? If you are, then she is being unreasonable. If not, then step back 24 inches and let the children in front to see."
