🖤 Enrichment for Niffler
Keeper Amber saw an enrichment design at another zoo and thought it would be perfect for our binturong Niffler!
Our estate team worked their magic and built it, so let’s see what Niffler thinks of it.
Drusillas welcomed its first animals in 1925: a kinkajou, a kangaroo, a chimp named Tarzan, and a lemur called Georgina. 100 years later, we still care for lemurs, that’s why they’re in our logo! ❤
We are delighted to share that tomorrow there will be a screening of our documentary Civet Coffee: Rare to Reckless, at Dalat University. We are expecting high attendance and to see everyone engaging with our work.
Special thanks our new partners Conservation in Action!
