11 years, one full-circle moment 🦁

In August 2015, keeper Adam assisted with Khari's routine health check when he was around 12 weeks old. 11 years later, Adam was once again involved in carrying out the same checks, this time with Khari's own cubs.

Moments like this highlight the dedication, expertise and long-term care that our keepers provide for the animals at the zoo. While Adam's experience with Khari makes this a particularly special full-circle moment, seeing the next generation arrive through vital conservation breeding programmes is a rewarding reminder that the care our teams provide can help support the future of vulnerable species 💚

Four new arrivals 🥰

We're delighted to have recently welcomed four adorable sitatunga calves to the herd, all fathered by male Asha, who arrived at the zoo last year.

The youngsters can be spotted from Kidepo Trail at Giraffe Heights, where the sitatunga herd have settled into their new and expanded home alongside the giraffes since the area opened in May.

With plenty of little ones around the zoo, there's never been a better time to visit and meet some of our newest residents.
