INTERACTIVE CHARACTER
Our roaming explorer, flora and fauna first responder, will be scouting the ZOOnanza for new recruits – find him around our site throughout the day to learn more about the vital role insects play in keeping us all healthy and happy!
Have you found a bumblebee that’s sounding more like a mumble-bee? Have you ever come across a hoverfly that’s come over all hover-shy? Or indeed, any kind of insect that looks a little upset?
Then you need…
…THE POLLINATOR PARAMEDIC.
THERMAL VISION DEMONSTRATIONS
See animals in an unbelievable new way!
