Remember the fluffy #LittlePenguin chick born last October? Look at him now!

We named this little flipper Krill because he's small but mighty.

The Western Ground Parrot update you’ve been waiting for... our precious chick is female!
This critically endangered bird made world history when she hatched last year. Our expert animal carers recently gave the little chick her first vet check & she passed with flying colours!

@JxxSucculent No, only the first lion. Female lions do not have a mane.

[Perth Zoo @PerthZoo]

Here are our top tips to tell our lions apart! 🦁

Jelani: the only male with the big mane
Uzuri: round face, rich golden coat
Makeba: longer face, lighter colour + notches in right ear 👀
