    The Azaras Agouti have bred for the first time in the collections history. From the video on Facebook I think they have 2 newborns.

    Are they on-show now? If so, any idea where? I'm guessing reptile house but what enclosure, probably one of the bigger two?

    I already noticed it on Facebook this morning, wondering if it might be either another new species that has joined/will be joining the collection or if they have finished working on a new exhibit...

    Only time will tell....

    It was two baby red pandas. Is this a first for them? I can’t remember.

    Can anyone help with this little question please?

    When did the White Naped Crane leave the collection I know one died early this year but was under the impression they were looking for a mate.
