At Knowsley Safari, we believe that raising awareness and inspiring others is the key to helping endangered species. So, we caught up with our Ungulate Animal Manager, Lindsay, to learn more about these incredible animals ๐
With estimates of only around 200 mature individuals left, it's crucial to help raise awareness. So, we've entered the Somali wild ass for its own World Animal Day with BIAZA.

๐ฏ๐๐ This #EndangeredSpeciesDay, let's roar for the beautiful Amur tiger!
In the 1930s, fewer than 30 Amur tigers remained in the wild. Thanks to conservation efforts, their numbers have grown to around 500 by 2020 but they still face many threats and are sadly classed as Endangered.
Our Roar for Amur campaign, in partnership with WildCats Conservation Alliance, is raising awareness and supporting crucial conservation projects to protect these majestic creatures.

Bindi's first steps on the drive!
๐ ๐ฆ Bindi's first steps on the drive!
Our tiny tank has been out exploring and took off like a rocket (Poor Mum ๐
)!
She still has access to her house and yard so she can go indoors if she feels like it. If you don't spot her on the drive, don't forget to check there too.
๐โจ๐ธ When you catch the camera!
Say hello to our wonderful waterbuck! These fluffy antelope rely on water for survival, using it not just to quench their thirst, but also for a quick escape by splashing away from predators like lions!
