ZSL - New rockhopper penguins on the block

February is full of colour!

Keepers at ZSL London Zoo are all in a flutter over the Zoo’s newly-refreshed Butterfly Paradise. Exclusively open for February half term, come and explore the wonderful world of butterflies and moths in the ‘Secret Garden’ at ZSL London Zoo’s activity den. Meanwhile at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo keepers have been busy preparing for the arrival of not one but seven new rockhopper penguins. A hamper of fish was presented to the little penguin newcomers to help christen their new digs. Say hello to the newcomers this February half term.
