Breakfast is served...🥗
Our Roul Rouls are some of the cutest but slightly cheeky birds we have at the zoo... Standing in not just their food but the Victoria Crowned Pigeon, thankfully they all get a long find dispite their wierd table manners...

🌼🌺🌷Spring may be here but that doesn’t mean everyone is thrilled about it…..🌼🌺🌷
Abou’s big feet managed to squish at least 3 daffodils when she came over to say hi!

❄️Look what’s happening right now😱1/3/24❄️
You look out the window one moment and it’s clear then there’s a layer of snow everywhere!
We’ll keep you posted if the zoo has any announcements in the morning

🔊Another volume up film!🔊
You can hear the lovely British birdies singing but amongst them is our Lar Gibbon family having a sing!🎤
Gibbons sing for a number of reasons, to defend their territory, duetting to establish their bonds and most recently to encourage their young to join in.🎶
Have you seen our family of now 4? 🐒

🐺It’s pretty rare we hear our grey wolves howling, we hear all the other vocalisations from them but their howling is pretty eerie especially at night…🐺
🔊 So turn up the volume and listen in 🔊

😊Our Dingos do put a smile on our faces, do they make you smile too?😊
You can always come up to the zoo and see Stella and Boots for yourselves. Or you could book your very own Dingo Experience where you’ll get to meet them one on one, feed them or provide enrichment for them dependant on the time of day your experience is and of course learn all about them😇

We’re making Sunday a funday rather than finding another animal beginning with an S, we know we could have had Sand Cat, Shoebill, Scarlet Ibis… to name a few.
But after we showed you our little Margay Kitten, we thought you might like to see her in action using her tiny agility to climb a vertical post🥹

Well we’re cheating with this one… Caturday😇
🎉😇Did you know we had a baby Margay born😇🎉
This little Kitten is the first Margay born at Exmoor Zoo and as you can see is a bundle of fun and incredible cuteness.
Margay in the wilds of Central and South America are found mainly in the forested habitats and spend most of their lives in the tree canopies, which makes them an arboreal species. They have spectacular agility and with joints in their ankles that can rotate 180 degrees, which means they can climb/run down trees at great speeds, something very few cats can actually do or even have.
Why not come up and see our little Margay she is too cute for words!

🐺 Wolf Wednesday 🐺
Here’s a throwback to just after summer, the Grey Wolves had a wigwam built and as you can see they were wary of it to start of with. Food was hidden around to encourage them to the bigger bits and of course some yummy smells were added too.
They thoroughly enjoyed the smells and food, but always wait until the keeper is out of sight with their camera to properly enjoy it. Who knew Flea and Hendrix were so film shy😱
You can always learn more about our boys at their feed and talk, the zoo is open 10-4pm😇

Meerkat Mondays! Let’s see if we can find an animal at the zoo for everyday of the week!
Here is Rascal our hand reared Meerkat.
From time to time he helps out at the animal handling sessions and the last one he came out for back before Christmas in the afternoon session, it was just him and his human, never fear they did enjoy the quality time together snuggling and having tickles- the meerkat we mean💚

The out take of this years Christmas marketing photos…🎥
The Dingos were the last of the animals to have their photos taken and literally within seconds of going down they found them fun to unwrap just like kids on christmas!
The boxes were filled with varying scents but as the Dingos got the last play they just wanted to open all the presents🎁
🎃🦇Time warp Tuesday to when Bagheera got her first pumpkin curtesy of zoo keeper Tina’s kids, she had played with it a fair bit so the bat on the carving ended up part of the tree🦇🎃
