Baby ring-tailed lemurs

Durrell wildlife park is very delighted with the births of ring-tailed lemurs over the last couple of months. The first baby was born on 21st March 2010, and the news got even better when a pair of twin baby ring-tailed lemurs were born after that. A decision has been made to auction the naming rights of the twins. For more information please have a look at the gallery.

Gorillas with easter eggs »

As a special treat for Easter, the gorillas at Durrell wildlife park received bright coloured easter eggs. After being a bit hesitant in the beginning, they eventually found a way to get to the sweets inside. The eggs were filled with gorilla sweets such as raisins and fruit.

Every once in a while snow reaches Jersey. This makes our beautiful grounds even more stunning and creates a whole new experience for the animals. Some of them haven't ever seen snow!

An unexpected visit from Santa Claus »

It was Christmas 2009, the time of the year to receive presents. As Santa appreciates the conservation work Durrell is doing, he decided to give our animals presents as well. The last thing he would want is for his reindeers to become threatened!
