The Cotton-top tamarin twins born on June 23rd are growing on very nicely and have started venturing off on their own, getting up to all sorts of antics and mischief.
With an estimated 2000 left in the wild this species is IUCN ranked as critically endangered, the population is projected to continue declining, in the next 20 years it will probably reduce by 80%. The Ex situ breeding programme (EEP) will ensure this beautiful little monkey does not become totally extinct and also working closely with field conservation projects supporting the remaining wild population.
Your visits to the zoo and donations to our charity help us to finance all of the threatened species we work with, we thank you all for your support!

The Aldabra giant tortoises are not fans of the excessive heat and high UV of the last few weeks, they are active in the morning and late afternoon into the evening, they sleep in the shade or the muddy wallow during the heat of the day. Billy our young Maine c**n does enjoy spending time with the tortoises and you’ll often find him resting up with them in a shady spot.
It’ll soon be summer holidays😊, we’re open this week on Thursday 17th and the weekend. Next week we’re open daily from Wednesday 23rd July 25 through to early September. All of the details are on our website.
Have a lovely day from all of the team!
