It’s not every day we have Albert Seba’s ‘Thesaurus’ (1734-65) out on display, but when we do it’s a real treat as they are crammed full of the most beautiful and intricate images, including this not-so-little rhinoceros scarab!

.@nationalexpress you have about 10 customers on your 5:30 035 service who have been abandoned in Poole after being turned around from Bournemouth. We have no idea what’s happening, the driver is about to leave. Nobody can reach you on your emergency number.

I regularly travel to Bournemouth via Southwest trains but have issues with far more than 50% of my journeys. Delayed, standing room only (today’s issue) but also lack of luggage storage for anything larger than carry on luggage. Do you have plans to improve @SW_Help ?

.@RishiSunak The Zoological Society of London Bill would ensure we can continue to protect nature. It's nearly completed its passage through Parliament. It can pass with your support. Don't miss this opportunity to support British science and conservation please support our bill.

@SW_Help my train to Winchester from Clapham Junction has been cancelled - can I travel on another network to get there, or do I need to wait for the next SW train?

[Emma Milnes @EmmaMilnes1]

@SW_Help are there plans to improve luggage facilities on your trains? Overhead storage alone isn’t really suitable for large cases, and there’s a lot of people struggling on my train from Exeter to London. The cherry on top is that the aircon isn’t working either 🙈

The Bank Holiday weekend is nearly here, and we thought you might enjoy a #goodread by ZSL's President @ProfJimSmith. If you're a Darwin fan you'll love this blog about the origin of ZSL's 'Origin': https://t.co/T1wb3aXFkk

.@GC_Rail can you confirm if reservations will still be valid on the 16:30 from Mirfield to London?

[Emma Milnes @EmmaMilnes1]

@GC_Rail Does this mean that reservations wont be valid for people booked on the 15:59 service?

Wobble wobble! Here's a bonus image for you from Haeckel's 'Kunstformen der Natur' to celebrate #WorldJellyfishDay

Hi @megabusuk @MegabusHelp I’m on the delayed 2:30pm M3 coach London to Bournemouth. Could you give an eta for arrival in Bournemouth? The driver has just repeatedly said 8:30, but he must have meant 18:30, right? (Hopefully!!) many thanks, Emma

Visiting @zsllondonzoo this week? If so, why not book a spot on one of our history of veterinary care at ZSL talks? Speak to a member of staff in the gift shop for more info and to book. Suitable for ages 16+

[Emma Milnes @EmmaMilnes1]

@SW_Help I’m meant to be on the 1:35pm train from Waterloo to Branksome tomorrow (27th), but the train no longer exists. Can I just get on any train going to Branksome now?

[ZSL Library @ZSLLibrary]

And we’re back! 🎉🎉 Our new opening times, and details about how to make an appointment, can all be found here: https://t.co/WfQAXJxzIU. Looking forward to seeing you!

[Emma Milnes @EmmaMilnes1]

@WLOL_2003 @UberEats Ooh, thanks! Will try that

[Emma Milnes @EmmaMilnes1]

Hi @UberEats. Our order is taking over an hour and the driver has changed multiple times. I can only contact the driver in the app - how do I contact you? We want to cancel as this was supposed to be breakfast!

[ZSL Library @ZSLLibrary]

From all of us at @ZSLLibrary, happy birthday Sir David Attenborough! And thank you for everything you’ve done to help @OfficialZSL throughout such a hard year!
