#blackpoolzoo and all that

Think they've overdone it on the seagulls :)

A friend suggested getting the regular zoo coffee at the cafe and it is, indeed, extra.

#TongueOutTuesday with Jarang at #BlackpoolZoo! 😍
Jarang had a difficult start to life with a bilateral scrotal hernia. But thanks to surgery & dedicated care, he’s doing well - developing at his own pace & growing stronger all the time.

An orangutan affectionately cradles her baby. The mother clutches onto her son and cuddles, grooms, and kisses him. Alison Allen took these pictures of Jingga and baby Jarang at Blackpool Zoo in Lancashire.

#Orangutan #ToothyTuesday

Baby porcupine saved through dedicated care at Blackpool Zoo Zookeepers at Blackpool Zoo successfully hand-reared a North American tree porcupine named Dougie, helping him recover full use of his legs through intensive physiotherapy and reintegration with his mother. It’s the first time in over 30 years for such a rescue

Against all odds, a tiny porcupine pulled through thanks to Blackpool Zoo's expert care! ❤️ #BlackpoolZoo #PorcupineRescue #WildlifeConservation #HappyEnding
