London Zoo in a time of Corona Virus and the goats that need rubs!

I probably don't need to reiterate it's a hard and uncertain time for everyone right now, how desolate the streets of London are in the midst of corona virus pandemic. So I won't, instead I want to turn your attention to goats, pygmy goats to be exact. At London Zoo, the pygmy goats enclosure is where all animal loving kids, and lets face it adults too, get to interact with the zoo animals -  and it turns out they're missing us!

London, has a new arrival, from migrant parents! A (very cute) baby Anteater named Beanie. Born just after Christmas, Beanie, weighing just 1.2kg, has a surrogate mum in the shape of lovely fluffy yellow teddy bear.  Beanie's first time mum Inca rejected her new offspring, but the stripy baby will soon be introduced to the rest of the giant anteater family at ZSL London Zoo, where keepers hope that more experienced female Sauna will take over other mothering duties, such as carrying Beanie around and socialising her, so she can grow up part of the group. Young anteaters get around by clinging to their mother’s backs, so the newborn has...

Flower lady 'Global Party'   or the Global Charity Trust have created #TheMovement. They've been getting themselves ready to launch their 3rd massive global party that happens on the same day all over the world, in 50 different countries all on the same night in September 2014. All taking place at some of the most luxurious hotels, bars, restaurants, art galleries and nightclubs. Lion Flags Flanked our way into the Zoo Essentially a philathropic night, the Global Charity Trust raised £500,000 in the first year of partying, with their sole mission to connect registered charities together and create world-wide brand awareness. Lord Stanley Fink presided over events and educated us wine drinkers at the PR event held in London Zoo this May, here they were raising awareness and funds too to help endangered Lions, which was the big profile at the Zoo on this evening.
