Happy #NationalPygmyHippoDay ! 🦛

Did you know?

Pygmy hippos are herbivores – don’t let their impressive canine tusks fool you! They feed on a variety of vegetation, including lush leaves and tasty roots. 🌿

White-clawed crayfish carry up to 200 eggs for almost as long as a human pregnancy. The female holds the eggs under her tail for 8-9 months and when they hatch, the infants cling onto their mother for the first two weeks of their life! ✨

Have you seen our bush thick-knee? 👀🌿

Did you know? These birds have a unique call that sounds like they’re gently laughing at the end of their songs! See these beautiful birds in our Walkthrough Aviary and listen closely to hear their sounds. 🎶

It seems our rhinos overheard one of our little guests talking about Elmer the Patchwork Elephant and how it’s important to embrace our differences.

Our keepers spotted a huge puddle of grey berry juice in the paddock washed off in last night’s rain & 1 very colourful rhino!🦏🌈
