Wild Beginnings at the park

Saturday 13 – Sunday 28 April

Did you know that baby hyenas communicate using special whooping calls that are unique to each cub, or that lion cubs are born with spots that help them hide in tall grass?

These school holidays, explore the wild world of baby animals. From fluffy chicks hatching from their eggs to tiny cubs exploring their surroundings, the baby stage is a time of discovery.

Learn how different species at the park embark on their first adventures and what it takes for them to grow big and strong!
