Hi followers,

We can’t quite believe we have to be saying this, but this is where we find ourselves.

The 4 Canada Lynx boys that left us on the 27th December returned to their first home, they were categorically NOT released into the wilds of Scotland.

We are confirming this off the back of being asked the question today by supposedly serious “investigative journalist” from the BBC, despite the lynx videod clearly being a different species and looking nothing alike our boys.

We are not replying directly to the BBC, as it is an absolutely ridiculous accusation with no basis or merit, but we are posting here for any traction this “investigative reporting” (and we use that term very loosely), or associated speculation, may get.

Absolute insanity, but here we are.

Here are the boys, safe at home, in Cambridgeshire, not running amok in the Cairngorms.

Departure and Destination update, as promised 🦥 ❤️

We know a lot of you have been waiting for this one, our favourite slow-coach, Two Toed Stanley has left for his new home ❤️

Stanley’s highlights over the years include the unforgettable moment he outwitted, outsmarted and generally just outran Kim on one of our lockdown lives (we like to frequently remind her of this).

Stanley will be in good hands in his new home at a Non-proft conservation and education centre in Hertfordshire; as always the new home has the right to announce the arrival first so we won’t spoil that for them ❤️

Happy New Home Stanley, a favourite of many, you will be so missed ❤️

Departure and Destination update, as promised ❤️

Our marvellous Macaws have moved on to play a huge role in education, joining an Education Centre focussing on spreading conservation messages.

These will play an essential role in teaching children how we can all make a difference and secure a positive future for our feathered friends in the years to come ❤️

A special one this ❤️, which we are so proud to have been able to play a part in.

Our white storks have moved on to play a huge role in securing a positive future for White Storks everywhere, joining the White Stork Rewilding Project. Most of the storks have already moved, the final 3 will be moving very shortly.

Here is the first Stork being introduced to some existing members of the programme at Lowther Estate.

These will play an essential role in the natural breeding of chicks for future release and also for establishing areas to attract released storks back - “bird magnets” if you will.

How absolutely wonderful that they will contribute to a positive future for their fellow white storks.

There are more moves planned in the coming days and we will continue to bring you updates as soon as we can ❤️

Departure and Destination update, as promised ❤️

We are happy to report that the majority of our feathered friends have already moved into their pawesome new homes, and even happier to confirm that the majority moved in 2 large groups to 2 centres into similar situations to here at the zoo.

The Inca terns, white faced whistling ducks, black capped nightherons, roseate spoonbills, little and cattle egrets, glossy ibis all went to an established and experienced wildlife and falconry centre in Oxfordshire where they will call roomy aviaries home.

Our Coscoroba swans, black swans, bar headed geese, common shelduck, ruddy shelducks, wood ducks and mandarin ducks are all living the life of Riley in open grassy and laked areas at an animal park in Central Scotland.

As you will likely be aware, the vultures and condors had previously moved on from the zoo a few months prior to our planned closure.

Over in the primate house, you will know Red Ruffed Lemurs Pointy and Ben who had to live apart from the main group of lemurs as Pointy was a little prone to being picked on! We are so happy these pals have been rehomed together at a zoo in somerset ❤️

There are more moves planned in the coming days and we will continue to bring you updates as soon as we can ❤️

As we close the doors for the final time I have never been so prouder of the team than I am today. Their focus and dedication to the animals in our care has been unwavering since 2016.

In 2016 we met in the red lion in dalton the decision on the table was to bid farewell go our separate ways or to try and stand and fight for the animals and zoo.

If in 2016 Anna, Ian , Kim, Paula and Sam knew what was going to be thrown at them for the part but the last 3 years have surpassed normality but such is their carachter I know they would have done nothing different. (Although vicky today you may have been given the nod !! )

From those who have been in from the start like Matthew, and those like Tracy, Becca,
Andrew, Natalie, Brian, Rachel, Claire, Josh and everyone who joined us along the journey or those for whom the journey was a little shorter - it’s been an absolute pleasure to work alongside you all.

To be able to rise above the accusations and utter “bs” and turn up and deliver the effort and commitment you all have is testament to you. I challenge anyone to find better staff, walk their shoes just imagine what they have had to read but still turn up to do the fantastic job they have.

In 2016 the office were forbidden to order hay for the rhinos, in 2021 rhino mums and calves were left without water - we still have work to do as the animals when we took over then were our focus they are now.

This zoo is a fantastic zoo with fantastic animals and staff, and on behalf of everyone I’d like to thank those who have continue to support us every step of the way, the local community our suppliers our behind the scenes teams especially our amazing vet Karen archer of izvg .

May 2025 bring everyone happiness and peace.

Karen
