Pumpkin Paradise 🎃

Penguins, capybaras and gorillas got into the spooky spirit today at the Zoo,
enjoying creepy carved pumpkins to celebrate Halloween.

Our colony of Humboldt penguins woke up to a fishy breakfast on pumpkin platters, while curious capybaras Kiwi and Gizmo used their foraging skills to track down their ghoulish goodies amongst some carrots and leafy greens.

Meanwhile, at Gorilla Kingdom, Western lowland gorilla troop Kiburi, Effie, Mjukuu, Alika, Gernot, and youngsters Venus and Juno investigated their very own pumpkin patch, picking through the Halloween haul of pumpkins, peppers and lettuce as they got into the spooky spirit.

This October half-term, there’s adventure for everyone at the Zoo. Running until Sunday 1 November 2026, A Little Boy and his Bear: A Storybook Adventure Trail is included with Zoo entry.

Meet our langur baby 🐵

These monkeys have swapped treetops for rooftops in India and Bangladesh, sharing our urban spaces in cities like Jodhpur which has a population of over 1.6 million people.

We’ve replicated this in their habitat at Land of the Lions, creating a home that combines urban and natural space.

Ande the llama meets Winnie-the-Pooh 🦙🐻

An inquisitive Llama named Ande stops to investigate a seven ft tall storybook during his morning walk at the Zoo, marking the first stop on the our new autumn half-term trail for visitors.

Inspired by a tale in the new book published by Harper Collins, Winnie-the-Pooh: A Little Boy and His Bear by Jane Riordan, the trail follows Pooh and Eeyore’s nighttime adventure through the Zoo, where the real Winnie – an American black bear who lived at London Zoo from 1914 and inspired the name Winnie-the-Pooh – once lived.

Part of the celebrations for two very special milestones - the 100th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh and ZSL’s 200th anniversary – the event brings together the real history of London Zoo and one of the most enduring characters inspired by it.

Running until Sunday 1 November 2026, A Little Boy and his Bear: A Storybook Adventure Trail is included with Zoo entry.
