My family bought Dartmoor Zoo in 2006. I wrote a book called We Bought A Zoo which was made into a film by Cameron Crowe starring Matt Damon

It costs £65 an hour 24 hours a day for PAPYRUS to take 75,000 calls a year from young people in distress. I’m sponsoring Team 22, raising £22,000 by walking 22 miles on 25th May in memory of Darcy, who would have been 22. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek https://t.co/7ih0OZmyZA

How many Amur leopards in this photo? 0.5% of the total global population. It took many years, many members of staff and many generous sponsors to bring Fredo from @Bellewaerde and Lena from @ColchesterZoo together @dartmoorzoo And they’re getting along perfectly #reintroduction

As bird flu inches ever closer we’ve had to round up the free roaming peacocks @DartmoorZoo into fine-meshed aviaries for their own protection. Mummy peahen comforts baby while they adjust to their new surroundings

@Facetheworst_ @DartmoorZoo Well, you’ve facedtheworst thing in the walk-in enclosure and lived to tell the tale. Next time keep close to Mr Pickles ; they don’t mess with him.

@karen_burchell @DartmoorZoo So sorry to hear of your loss. So recent. It’s hard to imagine now but it does eventually get better. You can get my book at https://t.co/883fZcd1xW

Baby capybara eat 4% of their bodyweight a day, so enrichment has to be food based. Hence the homegrown bamboo carousel and the happy capys @DartmoorZoo
