Animals come in all sizes! Some animals can reach the tallest trees and some never move from the leaves they scuttle through on the forest floor. Join us to find out who is the zoo’s biggest, smallest, longest and tallest!
Scratch’n’Sniff
Smell is an important way that animals find food as well as communicate and just like humans, some smells are preferred over others! Learn about the smells Zoo animals love and how the keepers use smell to enrich the animals’ lives.
Roar’n’Snore
Animals make a range of noises to communicate and love to sleep in a variety of comfortable and not so comfortable places! Can you recognise who sleeps where and what animal makes that noise?
