It’s OFFICIAL… there’s been a baby boom! 🫶

We’ve had a record-breaking year of new arrivals! From snow leopard cub Bheri, to Socorro doves hatching after going extinct in the wild, to four feisty fossa pups… and thousands of rare snails released back into the wild!

Each one helping to bring their species back from the brink 🌍

And the best part? There’s still more to come 👀

Those little squeaks! 🥹

FOUR baby bush dogs have had their very first health check and the results are in… ONE male and THREE female pups! 🐾

They were all weighed, had their teeth, eyes and body condition checked, received a microchip and important vaccines 🩺

They’re all now important new additions to the conservation breeding programme that’s safeguarding the species.
