Happy Father's Day! 🩵

Cotton-top tamarin dads are some of the most hands-on fathers in the animal kingdom. With females usually giving birth to twins, recovering from the birth while raising young is incredibly demanding. That’s where dad steps in, spending most of his time carrying the babies and only passing them back to mum for feeding.

A conservation success 💛💙

Three critically endangered blue-crowned laughingthrush chicks have successfully hatched and are now being reared by parents Rupert and Melody, marking only the second time this has happened in the zoo’s history!

With just 50 to 249 individuals left in the wild, this species is on the brink of extinction due to threats from the capture and trade of wild songbirds, making conservation programmes like ours vital in helping to secure their future.

Breakfast with Zaiya 🐘🍼

At 9 months old, Zaiya is growing bigger and stronger every day. Even though she has started to eat small amounts of solid food, she still relies on specialised milk as her primary source of nutrition, which is essential for her development.
