Animals in Green Planet

Our Tamandua Anteater is a native from Mexico, central and South America, and as an omnivore, he loves eating ants and termites.  He’s partial to avocado and banana too! With his 40cm long worm-like tongue, he has no trouble devouring his food!

Native to Colombia this super cute new world monkey can be found darting amongst the vegetation. Highly distinctive in appearance, with his long hairy tuft and sweet face, he is one of just 6000 remaining in the world, his species becoming extinct.

He might be a sssssssslippery sort but you won’t miss him as he’s quite a size!  Our Burmese python is a dark-coloured non-venomous snake originating in South East Asia, and he’s another of our reptilian friends living in creatures of the night exhibits.

Our fantastic flying foxes who are resident in our fabulous bio-dome! Spreading their incredible 1.8 metre wingspan above you makes them hard to miss!

Two ginormous snakes have made our four-storey biodome their home! Living in creatures of the night exhibits, the two huge anacondas measure four metres in length and are a real sight to behold.

He’s a stunning colourful spectacle, a feathered friend native to the rainforests of Mexico, Central America and Northern South America.  Goldie uses his beak as a third foot to help him climb, and he’s a rather messy eater, playing a key role in regenerating the forest, by dropping  seeds.

Lemon has the sweetest nature of all our sloths, and she can be found sleeping in the canopy within the biome, as she’s nocturnal.   Sloths are known for their very slow movements -  they are slow internally also, and it can take up to a month for them to digest their food!

Natives of Madagascar, these distinctive creatures love to eat fruit, leaves, flowers and sap. They travel through their home range, their tails remaining raised to keep their group pals together.
