A very healthy penguin coloney which is a big puller of the crowds especially at feeding time.

This local heron had his wing broken in a storm and so the staff cared a bought him back from the brink. He has now moved in with the penguins and does not leave because of the constant amount of fish. He has become a celebrity at drusillas and also gets his own sign explaing what he is and where he can be found. Its a lovely story. He is a grey heron he is totally wild because he can leave he just choses not too. he likes the penguins to much lol

U can view the penguins underwater as well.

The penguins are very sucssesful at breeding.

One of my favourties at the zoo are these diana monkeys from the jungles of central africa. However these two monkeys are very nervous and sadly there tails had to be amputated because they were stressed and chewing them.

Three owl species including this eagle owl

Another species the bigges there but i cnt remember what species

The third one is a snowy owl my favourite of all the owl Laughing out loud

this little critter is opposite the owls it says on the exhibit typical owl food. It seems cruel but its to enrich the owls if they can see natural prey it gives them some happiness. They will never eat the mice though

the chilean flamigoes are also very good at breeding.
