🎉Happy Birthday, Margaret🎉

Today is Margaret's 2nd birthday; of course she has been spoilt with lots of presents and treats!

Join us in wishing this cheeky girl a very happy birthday 🎂🥳
This picture shows Margaret hanging from one of the ropes in her enclosure, there is a cardboard cutout of the number 2 which is attached to the rope, she's looking at it in this photo, moments before she threw it on the floor! This is a picture of Tara and her daughter Margaret sat on a blanket surrounded by snacks. Tara is holding a cup and Margaret is looking into it, deciding if she wants the drink or not.

✨It's World Coati Day!✨

Here at the park, we are home to Honey & Penelope; they are very energetic and friendly girls! They are part of the Procyonidae family, which means they’re related to raccoons, if you couldn’t tell by their stripy tails🦝

Come & say hi to these two next time you visit 🫶
This image shows one of our coatis stood on a log in their enclosure. There are hanging leaves just to the right and the coati is central, but slightly to the left of the picture. She is looking at the camera. She is light brown in colour, but has a black and white stripy tail, black legs and a black snout. She is slightly bigger than your regular house cat, her tail is long and thin, she has small, rounded ears and a long snout, kind of like a dogs.
