Join us in the rainforest and feel the warmth wrap around you– even when Swansea freezes outside! ❄️🌴

Look closely in our photos and you’ll often spot a soft golden or red glow. That’s our heat lamps! They keep our cold-blooded friends at just the right temperature.

Terrapins stretch out like they're sunbathing, lizards bask on warm rocks, and Clyde our Burmese python loves to curl up at his perfect heat spot. It’s how they stay healthy, active and ready for adventure.

Out there it’s winter… in here it’s always tropical rainforest season. 🌞🐍🦎🌿

Ymunwch â ni yn y fforest law a theimlwch y cynhesrwydd yn eich lapio o'ch cwmpas - hyd yn oed pan fydd Abertawe'n rhewi y tu allan! ❄️🌴

Edrychwch yn ofalus yn ein lluniau ac yn aml fe welwch chi lewyrch euraidd neu goch meddal. Dyna ein lampau gwres! Maen nhw'n cadw ein ffrindiau gwaed oer ar y tymheredd cywir.

Mae terrapiniaid yn ymestyn allan fel eu bod nhw'n torheulo, mae madfallod yn ymhyfrydu ar greigiau cynnes, ac mae Clyde ein peithon o Furma wrth ei fodd yn cyrlio i fyny yn ei fan gwres perffaith. Dyna sut maen nhw'n aros yn iach, yn egnïol ac yn barod am antur.

Allan yna mae'n aeaf ... ond tu mewn mae bob amser yn dymor fforest law drofannol. 🌞🐍🦎🌿

Who gets more rain – Swansea or the Amazon Rainforest? 🌧️🌿
You can find out for yourselves on our digital weather stations as you exit the jungle, just before you meet Charlotte the Goliath Bird-eater tarantula! 🕷

It’s a simple but surprising bit of science that kids love and grown-ups can get geeky over – a fascinating way to compare life here in South Wales with the rainforest our animals call home.

Take a look on your next visit – the results might surprise you! 🌍✨




Pwy sy'n cael mwy o law – Abertawe neu Goedwig Law'r Amason? 🌧️🌿
Gallwch chi ddarganfod drosoch eich hunain ar ein gorsafoedd tywydd digidol wrth i chi adael y jwngl, ychydig cyn i chi gwrdd â Cawrdarantwla Charlotte! 🕷

Mae'n ddarn syml ond annisgwyl o wyddoniaeth y mae plant wrth eu bodd ag ef a gall oedolion dysgu rhywbeth hefyd– ffordd ddiddorol o gymharu bywyd yma yn Ne Cymru â'r fforest law y mae ein hanifeiliaid yn ei galw'n gartref.

Cymerwch olwg ar eich ymweliad nesaf – efallai y bydd y canlyniadau'n eich synnu! 🌍✨

The Lau Banded Iguana (We call him Fiji 😍)
Latin name: Brachylophus fasciatus
IUCN status: Endangered

🌍 The Lau banded iguana comes from the remote Lau Islands of Fiji and spends most of its life in the trees.

👀 Males like Fiji are bright green with pale stripes, while females are plain green. Both have yellow-green bellies and striking red-orange eyes.

🍃 They are omnivores, enjoying insects, fruits and leafy veg.

✨ Did you know: A group of iguanas is called a ‘mess’.



Yr Igwana Band Lau (Rydyn ni'n ei alw'n Ffiji 😍)
Enw Lladin: Brachylophus fasciatus
Statws IUCN: Mewn Perygl

🌍 Daw'r igwana band Lau o Ynysoedd Lau anghysbell Ffiji ac mae'n treulio'r rhan fwyaf o'i fywyd yn y coed.

👀 Mae gwrywod fel Ffiji yn wyrdd llachar gyda streipiau golau, tra bod benywod yn wyrdd plaen. Mae gan y ddau fol melyn-wyrdd a llygaid coch-oren trawiadol.

🍃 Maent yn hollysyddion, yn mwynhau pryfed, ffrwythau a llysiau deiliog.

✨ Oeddech chi'n gwybod: Yn Saesneg gelwir grŵp o igwanaod yn 'mess'.

Things are changing in the jungle… and it’s getting exciting! 👀🌿

Our Deadly Plant Room makeover is well underway, and the space already looks VERY different. There’s been digging, drilling, power-washing and a whole lot of elbow grease as the transformation begins! 💪✨

Huge thanks to everyone working behind the scenes — we’ll be sharing more updates (and thank-yous!) as the project grows.

We still can’t reveal what’s coming next… but let’s just say it’s going to be worth the wait 🌟

Any guesses what we’re up to?
(No spoilers from those in the know please! 😉)

Mae pethau'n newid yn y jwngl… ac mae'n gyffrous! 👀🌿

Mae ein trawsnewidiad Ystafell Planhigion Peryglus ar y gweill, ac mae'r lle eisoes yn edrych yn WAHANOL IAWN. Mae cloddio, drilio, golchi pŵer a llawer iawn o ymdrech wedi digwydd wrth i'r trawsnewidiad ddechrau! 💪✨

Diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb sy'n gweithio y tu ôl i'r llenni — byddwn yn rhannu mwy o ddiweddariadau (a diolch!) wrth i'r prosiect dyfu.

Allwn ni ddim datgelu beth sydd i ddod nesaf eto… ond gadewch i ni ddweud ei fod yn mynd i fod yn werth yr aros 🌟

Unrhyw ddyfaliadau beth rydyn ni'n ei wneud?
(Dim difethwyr gan y rhai sy'n gwybod plîs! 😉)

We took our Quiet Hour on the road recently with Plantasia on the Road, to Community Centre to visit our friends at the National Autistic Society - Swansea Branch.

Zoo & Education Manager Lucy, joined by Attraction Manager Paul (and a very special guest – our colourful mascot, Rainbow!), delivered two gentle and engaging sessions for the children.

For some autistic children, visiting the zoo can feel overwhelming – even during our Quiet Hour sessions. That’s why being able to bring the zoo to them is so important. These experiences help children connect with animals in a calm, familiar environment, building confidence, curiosity, and a sense of calm through close-up encounters with nature.

We’re incredibly grateful to the National Autistic Society Swansea Branch for inviting us, and to Admiral Life for supporting our outreach work, helping us make sure everyone has the chance to experience the wonder of the wild.



Fe wnaethon ni gymryd ein Hawr Dawel ar y Ffordd yn ddiweddar gyda Plantasia ar Daith, i Ganolfan Gymunedol Gendros i ymweld â'n ffrindiau yng Nghymdeithas Genedlaethol Awtistiaeth - Cangen Abertawe.

Cynhaliodd Rheolwr Sŵ ac Addysg Lucy, ynghyd â Rheolwr Atyniadau Paul (a gwestai arbennig iawn - ein masgot lliwgar, Rainbow!), ddau sesiwn ysgafn a diddorol i'r plant.

I rai plant awtistig, gall ymweld â'r sŵ deimlo'n llethol - hyd yn oed yn ystod ein sesiynau Hawr Dawel. Dyna pam mae gallu dod â'r sŵ atynt mor bwysig. Mae'r profiadau hyn yn helpu plant i gysylltu ag anifeiliaid mewn amgylchedd tawel, cyfarwydd, gan feithrin hyder, chwilfrydedd, a theimlad o dawelwch trwy gyfarfyddiadau agos â natur.

Rydym yn hynod ddiolchgar i Gangen Abertawe o Gymdeithas Genedlaethol Awtistiaeth am ein gwahodd, ac i Admiral am gefnogi ein gwaith allgymorth, gan ein helpu i sicrhau bod pawb yn cael y cyfle i brofi rhyfeddod y gwyllt.

Ready to test your strength? 💪🐊
Our Croc Crush game is not just for the kids! Give the handle a squeeze and see how your grip stacks up against a crocodile’s jaw… the lights will reveal your score 👀✨

Here’s a wild fact: crocodiles have the strongest bite force of any living animal — over 5,000 psi! That’s way more than lions… and waaay more than us humans!

Come and give it a go next time you’re exploring the jungle. Tell us your score! 💚



Yn barod i brofi eich cryfder? 💪🐊
Nid am y plant yn unig y mae ein gêm Gwasgfa'r Crocodil! Gwasgwch y ddolen i weld sut mae eich gafael yn cymharu yn erbyn genau crocodeil… bydd y goleuadau'n datgelu eich sgôr 👀✨

Dyma ffaith wyllt: mae gan grocodeiliaid y grym brathiad cryfaf o unrhyw anifail byw — dros 5,000 psi! Mae hynny'n llawer mwy na llewod… a llawer mwy na ni, fodau dynol!

Dewch i roi cynnig arni'r tro nesaf y byddwch chi'n archwilio'r jwngl. Dywedwch wrthym eich sgôr! 💚

Kids say it best… and this one absolutely made our day!

Theo visited with his school and told us he loved the meerkats (because they were “very funny”), thought the crocodiles were “super cool”, and now wants to come back with his family in the summer.

Thank you, Theo — your feedback means the world to us!
Who else has had a school trip to the jungle lately? Tell us what your favourite animal was! 🐊🐾



Mae plant yn ei ddweud orau… a dyma un a wnaeth ein diwrnod yn llwyr!

Ymwelodd Theo â’i ysgol a dywedodd wrthym ei fod wrth ei fodd â’r Swricatiaid (oherwydd eu bod nhw’n “ddoniol iawn”), yn meddwl bod y crocodeiliaid yn “cŵl iawn”, ac yn awr eisiau dod yn ôl gyda’i deulu yn yr haf.

Diolch, Theo — mae eich adborth yn golygu’r byd i ni!
Pwy arall sydd wedi cael trip ysgol i’r jwngl yn ddiweddar? Dywedwch wrthym beth oedd eich hoff anifail! 🐊🐾
