💕 We are delighted to have a baby black lion tamarin join the zoo family! The infant is just two weeks old and gets around by riding on the back of other members of the family group. As these primates are critically endangered, every birth is vital. #EndangeredSpeciesDay

More sad news from Ukraine 🇺🇦 😢 & this time animal care workers at Kharkiv Zoo @ICZookeepers @ABWAK @DeborahMeaden More evidence of how Putin has 'indoctrinated' his army to act mindlessly and without reason. Russians that I know would not condone this. https://t.co/0406HisQal

Two keepers who bravely stayed behind in Kharkiv to take care of animals have been found shot dead with their bodies discovered barricaded in a back room at the zoo.
