Join the pangolin mission in Heart of Africa

From 5 April, daily in Heart of Africa

Step into our Heart of Africa habitat this spring and help our Zoo Rangers on a mission to track down a life-sized pangolin puppet on the move.

Along the way, you’ll learn the real skills our conservationists use in the wild to protect this incredibly rare and endangered species—one of the most trafficked mammals on the planet.

From animal tracking techniques to understanding the threats pangolins face in the wild, this hands-on activity is a chance to discover how we’re working to protect them—and how you can help too.

No need to book—just stop by and join the adventure when you visit Heart of Africa.

The rangers operate a puppet made to look like a pangolin animal. It is orange and brown with scales.
