In a shock twist, January's Animal of the Month is a tie between Teshi the binturong and Gia the pudu 😯

Teshi's a beautiful girl with incredible aim having launched many a tomato at her keepers 🍅

Gia has a big personality and is very affectionate with keepers and her mum 💛

Our discovery rangers will be running another Discovery Day dedicated to binturongs and pudus on Saturday 17 January 11am-2pm between their two habitats.

Come along and find out more about these brilliant girls!
