The voice of Amara our pygmy hippo 🎙️

Pygmy hippos are incredibly rare and elusive in the wild, which means hearing their purr vocalisation is a special privilege.

There is currently very little research into pygmy hippo vocalisations, but by working closely with Amara at the Zoo we’re able to advance understanding of these behaviours while supporting conservation work in their native Liberia.

Dik-diks chew the cud in a similar way to cows and have four chambered stomachs to help them repeatedly redigest their food.

These guys are already POPULAR 💚🩷

Visit our capybaras at their new home, right next to ZooTown !

Their capy-spa-ra is open - a luxurious new spa was unveiled in London yesterday – for our pair of capybaras.

Our adorable capybara pair have moved into a brand-new spa-inspired pad, complete with two pools, mud-bath wallows and climate-controlled zones – and yesterday morning ventured outdoors for the first time since moving.

With partially-webbed feet, and eyes and nostrils perfectly located on top of their head like a snorkel, capybaras – whose scientific name Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris translates to ‘water pig’ - are adept swimmers, and visitors to our conservation Zoo will be able to see Gizmo and Kiwi showing off their capy-paddle in their outdoor pool – which is naturally filtered by tasty bulrushes. As well as a deep outside pool, their new abode features an indoor, heated, bathing pool to help keep their skin moisturised.

Our pair are more pampered than Glinda (with a g' !).

Book your magical day out at londonzoo.org/tickets - it will be WICKED 🪄

Mali the Asiatic lion 🦁 💚

Lions like him once ranged from Turkey to Eastern India, but were almost hunted to extinction.

Today their populations are slowly recovering in a small pocket of habitat in India, and through ZSL we’ve worked with partners to protect their species.

From working out in the field to contributing to the Zoo conservation breeding programme, we’re creating routes to restore these special animals.
