🐻 World Bear Day🐻

Join us at 12:00pm on Sunday 23rd March for a talk and feed to celebrate World Bear Day!

European brown bears are one of the largest and most impressive bear species. With powerful paws and claws that can grow up to 10cm long, they are built for life in the wild!

Once roaming freely across Europe, these bears were even found in Scotland until they were hunted to extinction around 1,000 years ago. Today, small populations remain in Spain and Italy, while Romania is home to thousands. Despite their decline, these incredible bears continue to thrive in parts of Europe, reminding us of the importance of conservation!

Meet our European Brown Bears, Brum, Brumma, and Maja. Learn about their history, the challenges brown bears face and how we care for them. Don’t miss this chance to see these incredible animals up close!

Did you know?
🐻 Brown bears are able to follow the scent of food for more than two miles.
🐻 Brown bears can live up to 30 years in the wild.
🐻 Bears can travel 2-3km a day foraging for food.

🦅World Eagle Day🦅

Join us at 11:00am on Tuesday 18th March for a talk and feed to celebrate World Eagle Day!

Eagles are among the most majestic birds of prey, soaring high with incredible strength and precision. At Camperdown, we are home to two remarkable eagles—each from a different species.

Clova is a Golden Eagle, one of the most widely distributed eagles in the Northern Hemisphere. These powerful birds can be found in Scotland, where conservation efforts have led to a rise in breeding pairs.

Ernie is a White-tailed Eagle, a species that was reintroduced to Scotland in the 1970s and 1980s with birds relocated from Norway. In 1983, they bred in Scotland for the first time in modern history, and further reintroductions followed in 2007.

Sadly, both Clova and Ernie were injured early in life and would not survive in the wild. However, they now serve as incredible ambassadors for their species, helping to raise awareness about the conservation of these magnificent birds.

Did you know?
🦅Female Golden Eagles are larger than males.
🦅White-tailed Eagles are the largest UK bird of prey.
🦅Golden Eagles can dive at speeds close to 200 miles per hour.
🦅White-tailed Eagles soar with wings held flat, rather than in a ‘V’ shape like Golden Eagles

🐵 World Macaque Day! 🐵

Join us at 2:30pm on Sunday 16th March for a talk and feed to celebrate World Macaque Day!

Lion-tailed macaques are a rare and striking species native to India’s tropical rainforests. Recognisable by their impressive grey mane, they are one of the smallest macaques and mainly feed on fruit, leaves, and seeds.

Meet our troop of eight, including dominant male Guinness and his playful son Pip, and learn more about these fascinating primates. Don’t miss this chance to see them up close!

Did you know?
🐵 Cheek pouches allow Macaques to collect large amounts of food at one time.
🐵 Only 1% of their original habitat remains due to widespread deforestation for timber and agriculture.
🐵 Lion-tail Macaques have up to 17 different vocalisations. These are combined with facial expressions and posturing to communicate within the troop

☀️ 🐻 EE Sun Bear Competition Winner 🐻☀️

EE and Camperdown Wildlife Centre have partnered to create a lasting legacy through our ongoing partnership, volunteering efforts, and the donation of a sun bear sculpture.

We invited young people to take part in a unique opportunity to design a sun bear in their own creative way as part of EE's PhoneSmart initiative.

PhoneSmart is an educational program that helps kids and adults learn how to use the internet safely through interactive stories and activities, ultimately earning their PhoneSmart Licence.

Pic one shows design competition winner (Duncan Hill) with fellow runner-up Birkhill Primary pupils – all proudly showing off their colourful design entries and pic two shows EE Community Outreach team with Susan Melville (Head of Operations, Leisure & Culture Dundee) with winner, Duncan.
