🎉 It’s a special milestone for Phillis, our Sailfin Water Lizard – she’s been part of the Plantasia family for one whole year! 🦎💚
After arriving last December, Phillis has thrived in her new home. This spacious habitat allows her to climb, bask, and explore – all the things a happy lizard should do!
Her journey hasn’t been easy, but thanks to the care she received from Reptile Cymru and her ongoing care here, Phillis is now living her best life. Let’s take her story as a reminder to always treat every species with kindness and understand their unique needs. Animals deserve love, not just at Christmas, but all year round. ✨Here’s to many more happy years, Phillis! ❤️

🎉 Mae’n garreg filltir arbennig i Phillis, ein Madfall Ddŵr Sailfin – mae hi wedi bod yn rhan o deulu Plantasia ers blwyddyn gyfan! 🦎💚 Ar ôl cyrraedd fis Rhagfyr diwethaf, mae Phillis wedi ffynnu yn ei chartref newydd. Mae’r cynefin eang hwn yn caniatáu iddi ddringo, torheulo ac archwilio – yr holl bethau y dylai madfall hapus eu gwneud!
Nid yw ei thaith wedi bod yn un hawdd, ond diolch i’r gofal a gafodd gan Reptile Cymru a’i gofal parhaus yma, mae Phillis bellach yn byw ei bywyd gorau. Gadewch i ni gymryd ei stori fel ein hatgoffa i drin pob rhywogaeth yn garedig bob amser a deall eu hanghenion unigryw. Mae anifeiliaid yn haeddu cariad, nid yn unig adeg y Nadolig, ond trwy gydol y flwyddyn. ✨Dyma i lawer mwy o flynyddoedd hapus, Phillis! ❤️
Lily, our amazing Zoo & Education Officer, recently visited the first-ever BIAZA Ectotherm Conference at Drayton Manor! 🐍🐢 This conference is a big deal for zookeepers, helping us stay on top of the latest care techniques, changes in legislation, and all things ectotherm (think reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates!). It’s also a great chance to meet and learn from other zoos, sharing knowledge to give our animals the very best care. 💚 Keep your eyes peeled for how we put this new knowledge into action at Plantasia! 👀

Yn ddiweddar, ymwelodd Lily, ein Swyddog Sw ac Addysg anhygoel, â Chynhadledd Ectotherm BIAZA gyntaf erioed yn Drayton Manor! 🐍🐢 Mae’r gynhadledd hon yn rhywbeth mawr i geidwaid sw, gan ein helpu i gadw ar ben y technegau gofal diweddaraf, newidiadau mewn deddfwriaeth, a phopeth ectotherm (meddyliwch am ymlusgiaid, amffibiaid, ac infertebratau!). Mae hefyd yn gyfle gwych i gyfarfod a dysgu o sŵau eraill, gan rannu gwybodaeth i roi’r gofal gorau oll i’n hanifeiliaid. 💚 Cadwch eich llygaid ar agor am sut rydyn ni'n rhoi'r wybodaeth newydd hon ar waith yn Plantasia! 👀

Critically Endangered Egyptian Tortoise lays an egg
Our tiny Egyptian Tortoise has been busy digging a BIG hole to lay her egg! 🐢🥚❤
This incredible moment is so important as Egyptian Tortoises are critically endangered and very close to extinction in the wild 😢. With a low reproductive rate, every egg matters in their fight for survival.
At Plantasia Tropical Zoo, we’re proud to take part in the EEP (European Endangered Species Programme) breeding programme to help protect this species. Our keepers carefully map and protect the eggs to give them the best chance of hatching. 🌱
Learn more about our tortoises and their journey to Plantasia in our blog: https://bit.ly/3v1WPQT

Mae ein Crwban bach o'r Aifft wedi bod yn brysur yn cloddio twll MAWR i ddodwy ei ŵy! 🐢🥚❤
Mae'r foment anhygoel hon mor bwysig gan fod Crwbanod yr Aifft mewn perygl difrifol ac yn agos iawn at ddifodiant yn y gwyllt 😢. Gyda chyfradd atgenhedlu isel, mae pob wy yn bwysig yn ei frwydr i oroesi.
Yn Sw Drofannol Plantasia, rydym yn falch o gymryd rhan yn rhaglen fridio'r EEP (Rhaglen Ewropeaidd Rhywogaethau Mewn Perygl) i helpu i warchod y rhywogaeth hon. Mae ein ceidwaid yn mapio ac yn diogelu'r wyau yn ofalus i roi'r siawns orau iddynt ddeor. 🌱

Why does the Neblina Reserve Matter? 🤔
Support our team as we RIDE FOR THE RAINFOREST this weekend 🌿🚴 https://bit.ly/3ZtGoKa
But why does the Neblina Reserve Matter? 🤔
Ecuador’s Neblina Reserve protects one of the rarest and most vital ecosystems on Earth: tropical cloud forests. With 90% of Ecuador’s cloud forests already lost, this sanctuary is a lifeline for endangered species like the Andean bear, ocelot, and the rediscovered longnose harlequin frog 🐻🐾🐸.
These forests don’t just save wildlife—they play a crucial role in our planet’s water cycle, feeding rivers that sustain communities far beyond their borders.
This weekend, join us for our Ride for the Rainforest fundraising event in support of Rainforest Concern and help protect this extraordinary place. With your support, Rainforest Concern can expand the reserve, ensure species survive, and safeguard the future of these magical forests.
We’ve already had amazing local support, including former rugby legend Colin Charvis lending his strength to the cause last weekend. Will you be next?
🚴 Let’s ride together for something truly meaningful!

Cefnogwch ein tîm wrth i ni REIDIO AM Y GOEDWIG GLAW penwythnos yma 🌿🚴
Ond pam fod y Warchodfa Neblina o Bwys? 🤔
Mae Gwarchodfa Neblina Ecuador yn amddiffyn un o'r ecosystemau prinnaf a mwyaf hanfodol ar y Ddaear: coedwigoedd cwmwl trofannol. Gyda 90% o goedwigoedd cymylau Ecuador eisoes wedi’u colli, mae’r noddfa hon yn achubiaeth i rywogaethau sydd mewn perygl fel yr arth Andes, yr ocelot, a’r broga harlecwin trwyn hir wedi’i ailddarganfod 🐻🐾🐸.
Nid yn unig y mae’r coedwigoedd hyn yn arbed bywyd gwyllt – maen nhw’n chwarae rhan hanfodol yng nghylch dŵr ein planed, gan fwydo afonydd sy’n cynnal cymunedau ymhell y tu hwnt i’w ffiniau.

🌍 Did you know the crested gecko is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List?
🌍 Did you know the crested gecko is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List? This means that their population in the wild is decreasing 😪These incredible creatures are native to New Caledonia, where habitat loss and invasive species are putting their survival at risk. At Plantasia Tropical Zoo, we’re passionate about protecting animals like the crested gecko and sharing their story to inspire positive action.
Every little action helps, and here’s a few little changes you can make to help nature from home:
🌱 Support charities like Rainforest Concern to protect critical habitats. Donate online here: https://bit.ly/3ZtGoKa
♻️ Make sustainable choices—opt for recycled products and reduce waste.
🪴 Create wildlife-friendly spaces in your garden to help local species thrive.
Together, we can ensure a safer future for animals all around the world. 💚

🌍 Oeddech chi'n gwybod bod y gecko cribog wedi'i restru fel un Agored i Niwed ar Restr Goch yr IUCN? Mae hyn yn golygu bod eu poblogaeth yn y gwyllt yn lleihau 😪 Mae'r creaduriaid anhygoel hyn yn frodorol i Caledonia Newydd, lle mae colli cynefinoedd a rhywogaethau ymledol yn peryglu eu goroesiad. Yn Sw Drofannol Plantasia, rydyn ni’n angerddol am amddiffyn anifeiliaid fel y gecko cribog a rhannu eu stori i ysbrydoli gweithredu cadarnhaol.
Mae pob cam bach yn helpu, a dyma ychydig o newidiadau bach y gallwch chi eu gwneud i helpu byd natur o'r gartref:
