Update: Duke of Edinburgh at Paignton Zoo


The Duke of Edinburgh group took their piñatas they had been making for the baboons to Paignton Zoo last week. The zoo mammal keepers talked to the group about how the family groups work, the baboons lifecycles and what they feed on. The groups filled the piñatas with food – and a very excited awaiting group of baboons grabbed the piñatas as soon as they were thrown into the enclosure. It was a real treat to get to be involved in a behind the scenes visit to the zoo and everyone enjoyed watching them feed, especially the very cute babies.
Thank you to the zoo for allowing the group to do this. Back to the usual work on Berry Head next week!
