Who is black and white and red all over and turning three today? Our male red panda, 'Anshu'! 🥳

Do you recognize this sweet face? 😍 During construction in the soon-to-be opened Asian Highlands area, our red panda family has been behind the scenes, playing and munching on bamboo. 🌿 Did you know that this species is fully grown by their first birthday?

Join us in wishing Anshu a happy birthday in the comments and get red-y to see his new habitat when opens next month! ❤️

Crikey, it’s a good day! It’s ! 🐊

Here at the zoo, we’re lucky to be home to two West African dwarf crocodiles, male ‘Papa’ (pictured) and female ‘Mama’. This species is the world’s smallest crocodile, measuring about one and a half metres in length. Don’t let their small size fool you – this is an apex predator, bringing balance to their ecosystem by eating a variety of small mammals, amphibians, and fish. 🐟

Stop by the African Rainforest Building to wish our crocs a good day!

It’s time to look prim for a birthday celebration – our female woodland caribou ‘Primrose’ is turning five today! 🎉

Would Primrose eat a primrose? 🤔 She might! In summertime, this species mainly eats grasses and graminoids, which are plants that look like grasses and have narrow leaves and barely noticeable flowers. 🌺 In wintertime, about 85% of a caribou’s diet is made up of lichen.

Stop by to wish Primrose a happy birthday! 🦌
