Last year we saw a rise in turtle stranding during the Winter months. As the temperatures start to drop it's important we keep an eye out 🐢

If you do find a turtle, do not put it back into the sea! They aren’t adapted to survive our Winter temperatures. Instead, report it to us as soon as possible, so we can recover the turtle and get it to a specialist facility where it can be treated

In the meantime, wrap the turtle in a damp towel and set it on its belly somewhere safe and sheltered. Raise its back end slightly to allow any water to drain from its lungs

November is a quiet month in Cornwall. Why not take advantage of the brief lull in the crowds and visit St Ives. Park at St. Erth take the scenic train and enjoy browsing the unique shops and restaurants.

Crab sandwich and a cuppa or maybe a glass of something stronger to break up the browsing, then stroll around the 3 beautiful dog friendly beaches before taking the train back.

Treat yourself to an afternoon wandering around Paradise Park, you might even see these cuties 😍

****Super Cute Otter Pups****

We are delighted to announce that Pippin and Katarni, the Asian Otters who arrived at the Park back in April, have four cute otter pups! 🦦🦦🦦🦦

Keeper Becky Waite explains “Their first check was today 23rd August with our vet Paul Hall, so now we know that there are three females and one male, and all are doing very well. Mum is starting to teach them swim so visitors will increasingly see them out and about playing in their pool more over the next few weeks.

It was love at first sight for mum Pippin who came from Woburn Safari Park and dad Katarni from Tilgate Park . Almost immediately they were gathering grass and straw to make a cosy home within the holt, and they now have a wonderful little family.”

This is the smallest of the otter species and considered ‘Vulnerable’ in the wild. They communicate in little squeals and are very playful, often rolling around with a pebble in their ‘hands’ or digging around a rock.

Video follows shortly....
