Sialang is here and he's grrreat 🐯

Our new nine-year-old Sumatran tiger arrived from Twycross Zoo and has already been exploring is new home. He'll slowly be introduced to beautiful Dharma in the future.

Happy World Otter Day 🦦

Our Asian small-clawed otters have a clever way of staying comfortable during the current heatwave☀️

By regularly grooming their dense fur they trap tiny pockets of air that help regulate their body temperature. These pockets keep warm air away from their skin in hot weather and lock in warmth when it’s cold! 💛

“Look at me, I’m turning pink!” 🦩🥹

Our flamingo chicks, Derek and Douglas, are starting to turn pink and blend in with the rest of the flock. Their famous colouring comes from the carotenoids found in the shrimp and other tasty treats they eat💕

Getting lost in Akiko’s eyes 👀

Unlike many small cats, Pallas’s cats have round pupils instead of vertical slits. Slit pupils help small cats judge distance precisely and control light in low, ground-level hunting conditions 🌳

Round pupils like Akiko's give a more focus across a wider field of view in changing light, which is perfect for life on the open steppe 💛
