Five golden poison frogs

Did you know? This frog’s scientific name – Phyllobates terribilis – reflects the fact it’s extremely toxic (terribilis means ‘terrible’ in Latin).

They’re so poisonous that the Embera Indians collect them in woven baskets and rub their blow gun darts on their backs to make effective tools for hunting.

Seventeen blue poison frogs

Did you know? Male blue poison frogs make great dads and do their bit to look after clutches of youngsters.

Six casthead iguanas

Did you know? These iguanas have very long legs and toes which help them live a lifestyle up in the trees!

Three Amazon milk frogs

Did you know? These frogs can produce an incredibly sticky milky substance from their skin which acts as a great defensive mechanism.

If a predator such as a snake tries to strike then not only does the milk taste disgusting, the stickiness can glue the snakes jaw together for a period of time.

Baby Acorn first shot to fame earlier this month after being given to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as an unusual wedding gift. And now, two webcams will stream live from the our impressive Penguin Island – home to Acorn, seven other youngsters and 39 adult Humboldt penguins – allowing anyone in the world to keep track of their progress.

One camera will give close-up views of the penguins nesting and feeding on the pebble beach, while an underwater cam will also show them swimming.

And viewers should soon be able to spot Acorn and a number of other young penguins who were all born in April.

Keeper, Karen Neech, said:

“In around two months time, Acorn and the other newborns will have developed their waterproof feathers and will learn how to swim in our penguin nursery pool.

“As soon as they’ve found their confidence, they’ll then make the step-up into the big, adult pool.

“In the meantime, people can watch their parents diving for fish on a daily basis.

“It’s a great spectacle and we hope the webcam will encourage people to come along to the zoo to see the penguins for themselves; find out more about them and the threats facing their relatives in the wild.”
