πŸ’ We have some exciting news!

We are delighted to announce that we've welcomed a new baby gelada to our growing troop!πŸ₯°

Our newest arrival is the first gelada baby of the year and has joined the rest of our 22 geladas in our Experience Ethiopia reserve.

Proud mum Bachuma and dad Taylor welcomed their little one on the 30th September, and we're pleased to say that both mum and baby are doing really well. ❀️

Native to the Ethiopian Highlands, geladas are fascinating primates, easily recognised by their distinctive red chest patches. Unlike many other monkeys, they spend much of their time on the ground, feeding mainly on grass.

We don't know yet whether our newest addition is a boy or a girl, so keep an eye on our socials for updates πŸ‘€

πŸ»β€β„οΈ Our Carnivore Rangers, or as they now like to be called… β€œThe Roaming Rangers”, are going the extra mile for polar bears! 🐾

This week, we're celebrating Polar Bear Week - a time to raise awareness of the challenges polar bears face in the wild and the importance of protecting their fragile Arctic home.

Annabeth, Bex, Jade, Josh and Kate are taking on The Conqueror Challenges to raise vital funds for Polar Bears International. Each team member will be walking over 1,000 miles, taking on an incredible combined distance of 5,200 miles!πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈThat's a whole lot of steps, determination and probably a few sore feet along the way!

But we're not just walking for the challenge. We're walking for a cause that really matters. πŸ’™

Wild polar bears rely on Arctic sea ice to hunt, travel and survive, but climate change is causing this vital habitat to disappear. Without action to protect their environment, these magnificent animals face an increasingly uncertain future.

So, what better time than Polar Bear Week to take action and help make a difference? πŸ»β€β„οΈ

Every donation will help support the important conservation work of Polar Bears International, from protecting polar bear habitats to supporting research and finding ways for people and polar bears to coexist safely.

Our Roaming Rangers have 5,200 miles to conquer, but they can't do it alone! Can you help them go the extra mile?

HAPPY WORLD LEMUR DAY! πŸ’š

Today, we’re celebrating some of Madagascar’s most incredible residents! πŸ‡²πŸ‡¬

We’re lucky to care for THREE amazing species of lemur, ring-tailed, red-bellied and crowned lemurs. Each have their own unique characteristics and personality, but did you know that all lemur species are native to Madagascar?

Ring-tailed lemurs are instantly recognisable by their striking black-and-white striped tails! They spend more time on the ground than any other lemur species and live in social groups called troops. πŸ’

πŸ‘‘ Crowned lemurs certainly stand out from the crowd with their beautiful orange crown markings! They’re excellent climbers and spend much of their time among the trees.

Red-bellied lemurs are known for their chestnut-coloured fur and distinctive facial markings. Native to the rainforests of eastern Madagascar, they love fruit and help regenerate forests by dispersing seeds.

🌳 Lemurs play a vital role in maintaining healthy forest ecosystems, but habitat loss, deforestation, hunting and the illegal wildlife trade threaten their survival.

πŸ’š You can help us protect these incredible animals by donating to our charity partners, the WildLife Foundation. Every donation helps support our conservation work and makes a difference to the future of wildlife.

Visit πŸ‘‰ https://easydonate.org/LEMUR5 to make a donation and to learn more.

Thank you for your support! πŸ’š

Did you know that although the Okapi looks like a zebra, it is actually related to a giraffe? πŸ¦“πŸ¦’

At first glance, you might mistake this fascinating animal for a zebra, but look a little closer!

✨ One of the most striking features of the Okapi is its beautiful black and white striped legs, which help it blend into the dappled light of the rainforest.

Okapi can only be found in the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa, where they spend much of their time hidden among the trees and vegetation. 🌿

Even more amazing, the Okapi has a super long tongue that can reach around 30-36 cm! πŸ‘… It uses its tongue to pull leaves from branches and can even use it to clean its own ears. How incredible is that?
