From our marmoset family to yours– Happy Father’s Day!

In the marmoset world, dad is the real hero– carrying the babies, sharing food, and making sure everyone’s tail is tangle-free! While mum takes a breather after birth, dad steps in like a tiny, fuzzy superhero.

To all the brilliant human dads who go the extra mile, whether it’s doing the school run or finding the exact snack your child asked for– we see you, we appreciate you and we salute you! 🥳

🐾 Volunteer Week: Celebrating the Heart of Our Work

This week, we’re celebrating Volunteer Week- a time to recognize the incredible people who give their time, energy, and sweat (yes, sweat!) to help us care for our animals!

Volunteering with us isn’t about cuddling cute animals all day- it’s about hard work, commitment, and compassion in action. It means cleaning enclosures, doing the dirty work, and showing up rain or shine🧹💪

But here’s the magic: when you put in the work, you earn the trust and the chance to work closely with some truly amazing animals and their stories become part of your impact🐾

👉 Thinking of volunteering? We’d love to welcome you to the team! Just know -it’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. Just drop an email to our volunteer coordinator [email protected]

Thank you to every past and present volunteer. You’re not just helping animals- you’re changing lives💛

🌿 Exciting Spring Update! 🦨

Our baby skunks have started emerging from their den and are beginning to explore their surroundings! 🐾✨

They’re still very young and a little shy, but with a bit of luck, you might catch a glimpse of them during your visit this half term.

While we can’t guarantee a sighting-they decide when they’re ready to be seen-the chance is definitely there!

Come enjoy the sunshine, meet our amazing animals, and maybe be one of the first to spot these adorable little explorers!

📅 Half term fun is in full swing- we’d love to see you!

A little late… but full of otter love! 🤎

World Otter Day is celebrated on the last Wednesday of May each year but Chico thinks it’s should be every day!

So today, we’re sending all our love to all otter species, but especially to the Asian small-clawed otter, the tiniest of the otter family and one of the most endangered.

Despite their size, their role in healthy river ecosystems is HUGE. And they’re facing serious threats like habitat destruction, pollution, and the illegal pet trade.

It’s never too late to:
🐾Speak up against wildlife trafficking
🐾 Support wetland conservation
🐾 Share the message: Keep wildlife wild 🐾 Fall in love with otters all over again 🦦

If you care, you’re already right on time.Let’s keep fighting for the rivers, the wetlands, and all the whiskered wonders that live there!
