Zoo news and help needed

Work is underway at the zoo for another exciting Christmas 🎅🏻

Did you know sending old Christmas trees to landfill is bad for the environment and it can take over 500 years to fully decompose 😱

So as we set up for Christmas you could help us by donating any old Christmas trees or if you are thinking of getting a new tree 🎄 we could use your old trees to help us theme the zoo and keep the trees out of landfill.

Trees can be dropped off at zoo reception at any time. If dropping off out of hours you can leave them outside the zoo gates.

We hope to see you all over Christmas for our best Christmas at Exotic Zoo yet 💚

It’s International Zoo Keeper Day!!🐍🐊🦘

Without all the hard work and dedication of keepers all around the world, Zoos wouldn’t be able to continue to do the amazing things they do. 📖

Here’s an appreciation post to all our keepers here at Exotic Zoo. 🦎

We asked the team for a photo… this is what we were sent, stuffing their faces with ice cream 🍦

Well done guys 💚
