ZSL - LET'S WORK FOR WILDLIFE

A super September at the Zoos
It's been another jam-packed month at the Zoos! Baby rhino Nandi made a real crash with her first venture out into our vast paddock. Meanwhile, over at London Zoo, our gargantuan Galapagos girls went on a stroll of their own as they moseyed along over to their brand new home on the other side of the Zoo.

And while we count down to Santa's Christmas visit we've had another magical new arrival - see our exclusive footage of our (yes, still spiney!) baby porcupine, who as yet, only emerges at night for keepers to sneak a glimpse!

Our new arrival! 
Keepers at London Zoo have shared the very first photos of a baby porcupine -  known as a porcupette - born at the Zoo last month. The adorable baby has spent the past six weeks settling into the family’s cosy indoor dens, only emerging at night, accompanied by its protective parents, Hettie and Henning.

Say hello to Hiro
We'd like you to meet our adorable new female zebra foal, born to mum, Henna at Whipsnade Zoo recently. The foal was named by six-year-old Jake, who was born with an extremely rare heart condition, and has a very special zebra connection. Thank you Jake for choosing such a perfect name.
