London Zoo’s pygmy goats will take on Whipsnade Zoo’s golden Guernsey goats as part of ZSL’s new Around the World in 30 Days challenge – putting their best hooves forward to encourage potential fundraisers to sign up to the month-long event.

Whipsnade Zoo has welcomed two young lionesses, Waka and Winta, who moved from Antwerp Zoo earlier this month to their new ‘queendom’ at the conservation zoo.  

Love is in the air at Woburn Safari Park, after Beatrix Otter, a six year old Asian short clawed otter moved to Woburn last month and found a love match with their existing otter, Kovu.

The UK’s largest Zoo has welcomed a whole host of new babies this spring including northern rockhopper penguin chicks, Père David deer and Przewalski's foals  

From spring-themed trails to outdoor games and activities to get closer to nature, there’s plenty to entertain your little explorers at National Trust places this May half term.

Whipsnade Zoo was thrilled to take part in the Big Help Out and offer the community a chance to help care for the iconic UK landmark, the White Lion.  

As the UK prepares for a nationwide Bank Holiday for the Coronation, African lions Hasani, Iniko, Zulu and Amara have had a special celebration all of their own - marking their third birthday, with Keepers making lots of fun enrichment!

Meerkats, ring-tailed lemurs and Asian short-clawed otters have all been getting into the festive spirit this week at Whipsnade Zoo, as zookeepers put up red, white and blue bunting in preparation for the Coronation Weekend.  

Whether you’re escaping the hustle and bustle of London or you’re in Bedfordshire over the Coronation weekend, there are plenty of ways that you can celebrate the crowning of a new monarch.
