Zoo News

Latest News From Around The UK

The importance of reliable and up to date news is definitely important, whether it is new exhibits, new arrivals, births or deaths, it can take a lot of time to follow every zoos website or social feeds, so here at Zoo Trips we do our best to pass on the latest news from a number of UK zoos. This format will change in 2023, when I will instead just post each day a synopsis of Zoo News for that day. So each day will have a new post giving any major news from the day before.
