It's sea lion birthday weekend!

On Friday our older boy Morgan turned 24 and today Crusoe is turning 16!

Out in the wild a male sea lion would only expect to reach 15 so we can now call both our boys "old". Obviously life is much easier here at the park so they are expected to live longer in human care.

Most sea lions have their birthdays in June. In the wild safety, in numbers protects them from predators as they learn to swim when they are just a few weeks old.

Morgan is the one with the fish in his mouth :)

Today is World Environment Day, a global reminder that every action we take can help protect the natural world for future generations. 🌿

At Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park, conservation and education are at the heart of everything we do. From caring for endangered species such as our Amur Leopards to inspiring young explorers through daily animal presentations, we're proud to play our part in helping people connect with wildlife and understand why protecting our planet matters.

Did you know? Many of the species in our care face challenges in the wild due to habitat loss, climate change, and human activity. By learning about these incredible animals, we can all become part of the solution.

🦜 Happy World Parrot Day! 🦜

Did you know that parrots are among the most intelligent birds on the planet? Many species can solve puzzles, recognise patterns, and even mimic sounds from their environment.

Here at Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park, our colourful Macaws never fail to capture visitors' attention with their vibrant feathers, powerful beaks, and playful personalities.

These remarkable birds are more than just beautiful, they play an important role in their natural ecosystems by helping to disperse seeds and support healthy forests.

World Parrot Day is a wonderful chance to appreciate these fascinating birds and discover what makes them so unique. From their incredible intelligence to their dazzling colours, parrots continue to inspire curiosity and a love of wildlife in people of all ages.

When our primate keepers call out "it’s snack time… " 😄

Our ring-tailed lemurs are full of personality, and their expressive faces say it all! These playful primates use their bright eyes and vocal calls to communicate with their group; and clearly, to let us know when they’re ready for a tasty treat too!

Next time you visit, keep an eye on our lemurs… you never know what expression you’ll catch!

😴🐺 Even Apex Predators Need a Nap…

After exploring, scent-marking, and keeping watch over their territory, wolves spend plenty of time resting and conserving energy.

In fact, wolves can sleep for around 8–10 hours a day, often curled up close to their pack where they feel safest and most secure.

This peaceful moment captures one of our beautiful Hudson wolves enjoying a well-earned snooze in the sunshine.

While they may look soft and sleepy here, wolves are highly intelligent animals with strong family bonds and incredible teamwork skills.

Just like us, rest is an important part of staying healthy and energised!

Have you seen one of our new arrivals??

Meet the newest member of our White-faced Saki family.

Despite spending most of his time on mum Mayas back, he has started to venture off and learn to clime or grab a ride on one of his sisters.

Why not pop a long to the park this week to see him enjoying the sunshine!

It’s Just One of Those Days! 😌🐾

Some days are for exploring… and some days are for perfecting the art of relaxation!

Here’s Anik, our stunning Amur leopard, making the most of a peaceful moment stretched out on his favourite bark chip spot. With the sunshine on his fur and not a care in the world, he’s showing us all how to truly unwind.

Amur leopards are known for their strength and agility, but even one of the rarest big cats on the planet needs a lazy day now and then!

These quiet moments are just as important as their active ones, helping them conserve energy and feel comfortable in their surroundings.
