Appreciation Post ✨️

Let's take a moment to highlight the incredible work of Anne, one of our charity Trustees.

Anne dedicates her spare time to creating incredible items for the zoo. This includes all the lovely bunting you see around the zoo, the curtains in our new café area and amazing items available in the shop. From handcrafted bags, bat toys, kids hats and all sorts.

We appreciate all Anne's hard work, and the amount of money she has raised for the zoo over the years has made such a positive impact for our animals, habitats and conservation work ❤️

International Dog Day but make it Raccoon Dogs!

💡 Did you know... Raccoon dogs are classified as an Invasive Species, requiring a separate licence to hold them.

Despite being native to Asia, their range has spread across Europe where their numbers rapidly rose and have a detrimental impact on the European native wildlife. This impact includes predating upon wildlife, outcompeting native wildlife for food and other resources, and spreading disease.

Meet Hattie ❤️

Our mystery arrival has made it, and is settling into her new Himalayan Foothills habitat wonderfully.

Hattie is a crucial ambassador for Red Pandas, an endangered species facing the very real threat of extinction. She is also part of the EEP or endangered species programme which creates a healthy captive population, safeguarding this species from poaching and habitat loss.

A massive thank you to everyone who purchased our mystery adoptions and are already supporting Hattie and the conservation of her incredible species!

When are you coming to welcome Hattie into her new home?

Happy Birthday Hamish!

Today Ha"meow"ish Watson is celebrating his 6th birthday! Hamish lives with his partner, Heather, in our Scottish Wildcat Habitat. He is often seen peeking out from inside his nest box, or relaxing on top looking over the zoo. You can tell him apart from Heather, as he is much bigger and also darker in colour.

💡 Did you know... Burrowing Owls have an especially high tolerance for carbon dioxide — higher than most other birds.

This is because they spend a good portion of their time underground in their burrows without access to fresh air. This is an adaptation common among other burrowing animals
