BABY NEWS!
We're excited to announce that this morning at 10:20 we welcomed a baby orang-utan to the Paignton Zoo family!
Bornean orang-utans are critically endangered, which makes this birth even more special.
Here’s a first glimpse of the baby taken by Keeper Gemma. 🦧

Here's a short video explaining the work we do here at @WildPlanetTrust; to show what we’re doing to help stem the flow and protect animals and plants around the world.

Two female red panda cubs were born at Paignton Zoo on 16th June. The cute new additions, Riya and Esha, have spent their first few months in their nest box, but the cubs are slowly starting to take their first steps into public view.

We're so glad to announce the news that two red panda cubs have been born at Paignton Zoo!
First-time mum Ember gave birth to the cubs in June. They are still very young and dependent on her and the family are spending time together in their nest box at the moment. (1/3)
