Emperor Tamarin The species inhabits tropical forests in Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia, and is classified as endangered due to deforestation. When Emperor Tamarins were first discovered their long moustaches were believed to resemble the moustache of a German Emperor from the 19th century. Eurasian Grey Wolf Wolves are highly social animals that live in extended family groups called packs. The territory of each pack is typically between 100 and 500 square kilometres. Adaptable and resilient, wolves can survive in a variety of habitats, including forests, tundra, mountains, swamps and deserts and this species can be found all over Europe and Asia. Flamingo Flamingos live in large groups called a 'flamboyance' and are easily recognisable by their striking pink colour. This comes from a pigment found in algae and small crustaceans, which makes up most of the diet of a wild flamingo. In captivity, we can feed a special pellet specifically made for flamingos which also contains this pigment. Giant Anteater Anteaters are part of a rare group of animals called edentates - meaning that they have no teeth! Instead, their tongues can reach up to 60cm and can lap up the 35,000 ants and termites each day, which they swallow whole. In captivity, we feed a mixture of fruit, veg, mealworms and meat to our Giant Anteaters, which closely resembles the nutritional composition of 35,000 ants and termites. Giant Tortoise These gentle giants can live to be over 200 years old and weigh up to 250 kilograms! They mostly eat shrubs and grasses but can stretch their necks up to three feet off the ground to reach low hanging trees as well. Giraffe Giraffes spend roughly 80% of their day eating and use their long tongues to strip the leaves of branches at the top of trees. Because of this, giraffes have a purple tongue to prevent sunburn! They also have 7 bones in their neck, the same as humans. Great Grey Owl These owls live in the Northern hemisphere, ranging from Alaska to Lapland. They eat small rodents and is a specialist feeder adapted to its extreme environment. Although this owl appears large, 50% is made up of feathers which keep the owl warm in its cold environment. Greater Bamboo Lemur The Greater Bamboo Lemur is one of the world's most critically endangered primates, due to habitat destruction and poaching. Scientists believed that it was extinct, but a remnant population was discovered in 1986. Since then, studies throughout Madagascar have found about 500 individuals in 11 subpopulations which are being heavily researched to contribute to their conservation. Green Anaconda Green anacondas are the heaviest and one of the longest snakes in the world, weighing up to 220kg and stretching to nearly 30 feet. Green anacondas are also sometimes known as the water boa because they spend most of their time underwater and are excellent swimmers. Grey Mouse Lemur Like all lemur species, the Grey Mouse Lemur originates from Western and Southern Madagascar. They are one of the smallest species of lemur and are also nocturnal. They exhibit a form of dormancy called torpor during the cool, dry winter months, and in some cases undergoes seasonal torpor (or hibernation), which is unusual for primates. Leaf-Cutting Ants This species of tropical, fungus-growing ant is endemic to South and Central America, Mexico and parts of the southern United States. Leafcutter ants cut and process fresh vegetation such as leaves, flowers and grasses to serve as the nutritional substrate for their fungal cultivars. Linnes Two-Toed Sloth Sloths come from one of the earliest mammalian orders, Xenarthra, and originated about 35 million years ago. Strangely, they are most closely related to armadillos and anteaters. Sloths feed on leaves, buds, twigs, fruits and small prey and their low rate of metabolism enables them to live on relatively little food; it can take them up to a month to digest a meal!
