Riley's Passing
14/08/2019
It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Riley the orphan Wallaby has passed away.
Although the staff dedicated many hours to rearing Riley, giving him the best possible chance in life, there is always a risk that any wild animal orphaned at such a young age will not survive.
Unbeknown to us, Riley had a heart defect, and despite the efforts of both our staff and vets we were unable to save him.
Riley will be dearly missed by all.

All 7 babies are doing well, as is mum!
Native to Madagascar, the Lesser Tenrecs are the smallest of 34 species.
They usually live in trees, being excellent climbers, but go to ground when they give birth, which is exactly what Trixie did.
These adorable creatures - that look remarkably like the BBC âThe Clangersâ - are nocturnal and our Tenrecs live in a special, purpose built nocturnal room, which you can find in the first tropical butterfly house.

It May Be Winter...
22/12/2017
But a new butterfly has been spotted in one of our tropical houses!
The Common Palmfly (Elymnias hypermnestra) comes from parts of India, sub-Himalayas and South east Asia, and as the name suggests these butterflies lay their eggs, which are yellow, on a variety of palms. The catterpillars and pupae are green and the adult has a wing span of 80mm / 3.5 inches.
On checking the palms in the greenhouse our butterfly expert, Phil, was delighted to find eggs, caterpillars and pupae. So if they get through the winter hopefully we will have them breeding into next year.

purpose-built enclosure. Most are actually rescue birds that we've taken
on and include zebra finches, golden pheasants, cockatiels,
budgerigars, diamond doves and two types
of mountain quail. Here you can get up close to the birds - some of
which are mere fledgelings, which we have also bred - all friends
