Say HELLO to our newest endangered residents 👋🐸 They're not a big cat, they're not a primate, and they're only 2.5cm in size... but they're still important to our conservation mission!! 🌏 The Marañón frog is an endangered species, native to a small region in Peru 🌵 They inhabit dry forests dominated by cacti, rocks and steep cliff faces! They also use small pools of water that build up in bromeliads to lay eggs and let tadpoles develop 🐸 Their striking pattern alerts predators that they are poisonous, which means they can be active during the day without being preyed upon, like camouflage in reverse 👀 See if you can spot them on your next visit to our Gibbon Forest habitat #twycrosszoo #conservation #endangeredspecies #animalconservation #zoo #amphibians

A new Critically Endangered trio have arrived at Twycross Zoo, just in time for our October Half Term visitors 🚨🌍 Meet the mongoose lemurs - a brand-new species that we're collaborating with zoo's across Europe to protect... 🌍 Facing threats from habitat loss and hunting, the mongoose lemur is listed as 'Critically Endangered' on the IUCN Red List, making it one of the world's most endangered primates 🧡 As a zoo known for its dedication to primate care and conservation, we’re thrilled to welcome a brand-new primate species as part of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) Ex-situ Programme, working to sustain a healthy population and support their survival 📍 FUN FACT: This is the only lemur species found outside of Madagascar!! #twycrosszoo #conservation #zoo #animalconservation #animals #endangeredspecies #endangeredanimals British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA)
