Can you help care for the rescued lynx?

Abandoned in a freezing forest in the Scottish Highlands, our charity is giving the three lynx a safe, warm home and veterinary care so they can recover.

You can help to give these traumatised animals the chance to regain their health. With your support our charity's dedicated keepers can give each animal the best of care.

We're celebrating Burns Night early, with our very own Robert Burns impersonator, who has delivered a delightful ode to Haggis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In honour of the Bard's way with words, our new take on the Address to a Haggis is a toast to both Scottish tradition and one of our most beloved zoo residents.

The culprit behind yesterday's snowy footprints - a western grey kangaroo!

Did you know...
🦘 Thanks to their large feet, kangaroos can leap 30 feet in a single bound and travel more than 30mph
🦘 A group of kangaroos is called a mob
🦘 Western grey kangaroos communicate with each other with a range of soft clicks
