The comedian of London Zoo 🦜

A rescued pet, African grey parrot Brian lives alongside his partner Lola and is one of the biggest characters we have at the Zoo.

In the wild African grey parrots are at huge risk from the international wildlife trade, but through ZSL we’re working in Cameroon to protect parrots like Brian from illegal poaching.

The monkey that almost went extinct 🐵

There were just 200 golden lion tamarins remaining in the wild before scientists and the international Zoo community stepped in to save their species.

In one of the biggest wildlife conservation collaborations ever, 41 Zoos helped reintroduce these monkeys back into the wild to help save them from extinction.

There are now almost 5000 golden lion tamarins in their native Brazil, but with just around 7% of their original habitat remaining, our new twins remain an important part of their conservation story.
