A rare sighting of one of the incredibly shy Dik Diks in the new mixed aviary Dartmoor Zoo . If you looked this much like dinner for something else, you’d be shy too.

As well as animal dentist Peter Kertesz and Steve from IZVG, 26 people attended the morning briefing. A necessary extraction of a broken canine from Chincha the jaguar, which cost around £7000. Every ice cream and toy bought Dartmoor Zoo pays for these sorts of unseen activities.

Dolphins off Plymouth Hoe this evening, very close to where I was swimming moments before. Clearly forming a defensive barrier against all the sharks for us. Thanks guys.

Two very different reactions to the heat today Dartmoor Zoo

Amazing staff day out @noahs_ark_zoo this week. Lovely people and animals. Highlight was this 60 year old critter coming over for a cuddle.

Which of these pieces of garden furniture was made entirely from Quality Street tubs? Devon Contract Waste geniuses turn 938 tubs into 1 bench, to stop them going into landfill. 1 bench also = 0.59 metric tonnes of chocolate eaten, about average for me over Christmas dcw.co.uk/about/recycle-…

Baby capybara eat 4% of their bodyweight a day, so enrichment has to be food based. Hence the homegrown bamboo carousel and the happy capys Dartmoor Zoo

As bird flu inches ever closer we’ve had to round up the free roaming peacocks Dartmoor Zoo into fine-meshed aviaries for their own protection. Mummy peahen comforts baby while they adjust to their new surroundings

Did this earlier. Only took me a minute.

Tell me you've modelled before without telling me...👀 📸 Keeper Ella

In non election news, some otter love @dartmoorzoo captured by the awesome Evie Gotham.

How many Amur leopards in this photo? 0.5% of the total global population. It took many years, many members of staff and many generous sponsors to bring Fredo from Bellewaerde and Lena from Colchester Zoo together @dartmoorzoo And they’re getting along perfectly #reintroduction

It costs £65 an hour 24 hours a day for PAPYRUS to take 75,000 calls a year from young people in distress. I’m sponsoring Team 22, raising £22,000 by walking 22 miles on 25th May in memory of Darcy, who would have been 22. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek justgiving.com/team/diddles?u…
