Lots of new and exciting changes have been taking place at Twycross Zoo over the past 12 months. Whilst 2012 saw some species leave our collection, such as giraffes and sealions, we also welcomed brand new species to our collection! Some of our animals have made much shorter journeys across the Zoo to new and larger exhibits, such as our chimpanzees.
Smaller changes around the Zoo have led to the former giraffe house now providing a spacious home for our pair of Bactrian camels, the former camel enclosure now housing our pair of Rhea's, whilst the sealion pool has been transformed into Bush Dog and Coati Island!
This Easter we unveiled lots of brand NEW exhibits including Dinosaur Valley, making 2013 one of the most exciting years the Zoo has ever seen!
