Our Tawny Frogmouths are back, just in a different part of the zoo!

💡 Did you know... whilst they may look somewhat like owls, tawny frogmouths are actually more closely related to nightjars.

Experts in camouflage and hiding, have you spotted Fraggle or Gonzo yet?

🐠🪸 It's Reef Awareness Day! 🪸🪼

Coral reefs are not just beautiful things to see, they're also super important!
🪸 Despite covering less than 1% of the world's ocean, they're home to over 25% of all marine life!
🪸 Reels shelter coastlines from wave erosion, and provide food and livelihoods for millions of people across the world
🪸 Compounds discovered in corals are considered key to finding new medicines; as possible cures to infections, arthritis and cancer
🪸 The algae that grows in reef settings is really important for co2 capture and oxygen production
🪸 It has been proven that watching fish, even those in captivity, can improve your mood and anxiety by lowering your heart rate

How have coral reefs impacted you?

🌺 Keeper Photos of the Month - May 🌺

We're well on the way towards summer! Moulting away winter coats, bright sunny days, butterflies are back and the trees are all fully in leaf 🍃

Last month we asked if there were any animals you wanted to see featured more, and you said rodents! So our keepers made sure to snap a few extra rodent photos this month. Are there any animals you'd love to see in June?

Did you know our café is dog friendly? And now even serves dog ice-cream? 🐶🍦

Whilst dogs aren't allowed in the zoo, they are welcome within our café areas (indoor seating and the picnic area next to our monkey enclosure).

So you can sit and enjoy some food, cake and ice cream whilst watching the monkeys with your furry friend! 🐒🐶

Meet the zookeepers, animal conservationists and vets of the future!

Here are just a few of our incredible, hard-working volunteers. Those who spend their free time learning everything they can about animal care, and dedicating themselves to helping make the zoo the best it can be.

We'd like to take a moment to say a massive thank you to every single one of our volunteers - past, present and future ❤️
