Not all heroes wear capes... some have wings. 🦅

Today we’re celebrating vultures, one of the world’s most misunderstood animals.

These incredible birds help keep ecosystems healthy, protect wildlife from disease and play a vital role in the natural world.

Yet many vulture species are now facing serious threats in the wild.

Thank you to _thomas_takes_photos_ for his brilliant photos of our vultures on slides 6, 8 and 9.

🦁 Welcome to Knowsley Safari, Malaika & Kibibi!

We’re delighted to introduce our two new lionesses, who have recently arrived from Whipsnade Zoo. As they settle into their new home, you may spot them exploring their habitat, building confidence and getting to know their dedicated keeper team.

These sisters represent an exciting step forward for lion conservation and the future of our pride. ❤️

Introducing Gizmo 🤎

Born on 18th July to mum Brea and dad Ralph, Gizmo is already making a name for himself in the herd.

It is with great sadness that we share the loss of Sam, our 15-year-old African lion.
 
Sam was a much-loved member of our pride and an unforgettable part of the Safari experience for countless guests over the years.

Following a sudden decline in his health, the difficult decision was made to humanely euthanise him to prevent any suffering.

Sam will be remembered fondly by the keepers who cared for him every day and by everyone who had the privilege of seeing him.

Wildlife Wednesday 🐝

Meet the buff-tailed bumblebee!

One of our The Outdoors People team spotted this queen burrowing into the ground in our woodland, and she may have been searching for a safe place to nest or shelter. Bumblebees often make their homes underground, sometimes using old rodent burrows.

Want to give bees a helping hand? 🌼 Leave some areas wild, plant bee-friendly flowers and avoid pesticides where possible.

Sometimes the best thing we can do for wildlife is simply give it a little more space. 💚
