From Bindi: “Last year here in Australia we experienced a catastrophic fire event throughout the country. Climate change is to blame for the unbelievable devastation to our native bushland with these fires. Scientists estimate that about 3 billion animal lives perished in these fires and our Wildlife Hospital was busier than ever. Climate change threatens life as we know it and every day I see the toll it takes on our natural environment.”
Baby panther chameleon hatches at Whipsnade Zoo
A tiny Panther chameleon has hatched at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo! The 3cm-long baby was photographed perching on pencils and scampering up a keeper’s finger, after it hatched from its egg on Sunday 7 November.
Zookeepers eventually plan to move the baby chameleon to the Madagascar zone inside its freshwater aquarium, but visitors can see the baby’s rainbow-ready father there already, along with the Zoo’s 9,500 other animals, by booking tickets at zsl.org/booktickets
