ZSL London Zoo is one of my favourite places and I am very lucky to have a sister who is a keeper at the zoo.
A highlight of any visit to London zoo is a trip to the spectacular and steamy Rainforest Life, London’s only living rainforest where you can come face to face with a variety of amazing rainforest species including monkeys, sloth, armadillo and tamandua.
The conservation work that ZSL performs every year across the globe is helping to promote and protect animals and their habitats.
ZSL runs conservation programmes in Britain and over 50 countries worldwide; the conservation of wild animals and their natural habitats is fundamental to our mission. We work with local communities to conserve their environment and promote sustainability.
A couple of weeks ago I was at the zoo with my camera and I was in my element taking photos of the animals.
I was very fortunate to be able to get close to a number of animals including this very friendly hairy armadillo. The hairy armadillo not only looks weird, being the only mammal with a shell but it is also becoming more and more endangered in the wild.
