🦩 How can you tell the age of a flamingo? 🦩
🪶 Take a look at the feathers on their necks. If the feathers are light grey, they are youngsters, as flamingos are born grey and fluffy.

🦇 This morning, on #BatAppreciationDay , Keeper Nicola filmed the birth of a Critically Endangered Livingstone’s fruit bat! 🦇
🙌 Female Livingstone’s fruit bats are fantastic mothers, quickly cleaning and caring for the pup after birth.
📷 Keeper Nicola
🦇 Bats have flexible fingers with a membrane of skin stretched across and a small claw that resembles a thumb. This structure enables agile movements mid-flight.
