Our Black and White Ruffed Lemurs welcomed a new baby!
These Lemurs are critically endangered in the wild! Unfortunately, due to habitat destruction from agriculture and the bushmeat trade, their population numbers have dropped dramatically in the last 20 years.

Exciting Announcement π£
Some of you may have noticed that the path past the Hyena has been closed recently.
Shenzi our Brown Hyena has now moved to a different enclosure to make way for something exciting...
We are now able to introduce to you our other adult Brown Hyenas Amari (mum) and Zumbi (dad).
They have settled in very well but have been hiding a secret that we are delighted to share with you.
In the middle of October Amari gave birth to 4 babies. All are doing amazingly well and we look forward to sharing this clan's journey with you.
The family have been exploring the barn and we aim to reopen the whole path as soon as possible.
