We had a great day yesterday, #filming with the team over at @EightEngines — getting up close and personal with some #creepycrawlies!

@stephaniejade94 Hi Steph! We certainly will be, keep posted on our social media where we will be sharing future opportunities!

At Eight Engines we don't just have to deal with annoying computer bugs... @MCR_Zoo

@rantsnbants We'll do you one better! If you get 10k retweets, we will give you a one year free pass to Manchester Zoo when we open! Then you can see the camels whenever you want 🐪

We’ve had more amazing new arrivals!

Everyone say hello to our #Mantella expectata, better known as the blue legged mantella! 🐸

Thanks for the photo, Chris Dunn 📷

We're still working hard to bring #Manchester a world class centre of #animal care, #conservation & research!

This weekend, we've been joined by some amazing new arrivals — including the Yellow Toothed #Cavy!

This species of #rodent is closely related to the domestic guinea pig, and has settled in really well with us here at #ManchesterZoo

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

We would like to give you the #opportunity to buy into our exclusive #rewards, which will help towards the rapid developments of the #zoo — take your place at the very beginning of #ManchesterZoo's history, whilst you wait for the doors to open!

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

The #ManchesterZoo project is going incredibly well, and with the first phase of development on the horizon we want to give you the #opportunity to be a part of this #journey

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

They're so TINY!

We can't wait to meet our new #Etruscan #shrews, they are the smallest known #mammal in the world and will be a fantastic part of our #Egyptian collection!

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

Today is an exciting day for us here at #ManchesterZoo, with our new arrival of Snowy #Owls!

We love their breath-taking amount of feathers to keep warm in #Arctic temperatures, as well as the little fluffy slippers on their feet for extra warmth! ❄️

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

This is the beautiful Swinhoe's striped #squirrel, otherwise known as #Tamiops

They're often mistaken for other #squirrels or #chipmunks, however can be distinguished by their small round ears with white-tipped hairs, as well as the beautiful stripes that run down their back.

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

This is the Savu #python, one of the smallest of the Asian #pythons.

We are excited to receive our first #animal of this species in the coming weeks, with hopes to play a big part in their #conservation breeding programme!

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

This amazing species is the #Barbarymacaque, their name referring to the Barbary coast of North West #Africa.

They can be found in troops of up to 100, adapting well to both the hot and cold. They also have very large cheek pouches that can hold as much food as their stomachs!

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

Today is #NationalWildlifeDay and to celebrate we’d like to highlight all of the incredible work zoo's do to #conserve our #wildlife!

Many species have been saved from the brink of extinction thanks to the wonderful #breeding programmes #zoological collections have implemented!

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

Happy #InternationalPrimateDay everyone!

Here at #ManchesterZoo, we love #primates, and we are excited to be sharing details later this week about our fully formalised partnership to help save these incredible animals in #Madagascar!

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]

This elegant bird is the #Lesserflamingo, one of the smallest, yet brightest of the #flamingo species.

This beautiful #animal is known to live in the largest flocks, with some amounting up to one million lesser flamingos!

How #amazing is that!

[Manchester Zoo @MCR_Zoo]
