A North East zoo has welcomed a megabat species as part of a captive breeding programme to help avoid extinction.
Already home to Snow Leopards and tiny harvest mice, Northumberland Zoo is now home to the world’s second captive breeding population of Livingstone’s Fruit Bats, becoming the UK mainland’s only location where you can see these rare bats.
The zoo has created a purpose-built, sustainable facility where these flying mammals can be shown at their best with ample room to spread their wings and fly.
