A new VIP has swung into Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm, Wraxall. A male baby Siamang Gibbon was born a few months ago and is settling into the Gibbon Gallery at the zoo joining Mum Salome, and Dad Sampson who have been at the zoo for two years. 

He’s very cute and we’ve called him Sultana due to him being so wrinkly and sweet.Visitors can see Sultana playing with Mum and Dad in the Gibbon Gallery at the zoo.

Is it Black with White Stripes or White with Black Stripes….

baby zebra

We’re seeing stripes at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm.  A new female zebra, which is a cross between Chapman and Grant, was born three weeks ago and has been named Zelda.

Zebra’s gestation period is 350 - 400 days so Noah's Ark has been waiting some time for Zelda.  The little stripy arrival was standing within an hour after birth and at just a few weeks old she can already keep up with the rest of the herd as they run across the Africa section of the Zoo.
