✨ A rare miracle caught on camera! ✨ Say hello to Miloli, a very special newborn okapi calf 😍 Watch as he takes his very first wobbly steps all the way to his first-time-outside zoomies! ☀️ Okapis are incredibly rare creatures, often called the “African unicorn.” They’re rarely seen in the wild, which is why every birth matters ❤️ We’re proud to be part of vital efforts to protect this amazing species - both here at the zoo and in Africa 🌍

A few years ago just 60 Desertas island land snails survived… but we’ve JUST reintroduced 1,300 to the wild 🌍 For 100+ years, they were thought to be extinct… then came a remarkable discovery! Just 60 were found on a tiny island in the Atlantic Ocean 🌊 They were flown to Chester where our experts worked to breed them for the first time ever in human care... and now the population has grown into the thousands! 📈 With the snails thriving, more than 1,300 have just been successfully reintroduced to Bugio Island - a protected wildlife haven in Maderia, Portugal. This has to be the comeback of the century! 🐌

TINY NEW ARRIVALS! 🦁🐒 This is George and Leaf... and they’re the first golden lion tamarins to ever live at the zoo! Standing at just 20cm tall, these miniature monkeys were once nearly extinct in the wild until zoo breeding efforts helped bring them back from the brink 🧡
