Big mid-week yawn 🥱
Sumatran Tiger's communicate through their snarls and hisses, however their roars can be heard up to 1.8 miles (3km) away 🐯
That's the same distance as climbing three Yr Wyddfa's (Mount Snowdon)!!!

Happy 🐧 World #Penguin Day 🐧 from the #WelshMountainZoo!
Did you know that the history of the word 'Penguin' derives from the late 16th century Welsh 'Pen Gwyn', meaning 'white head' as a descriptor to the now extinct Great Auk's white winter plumage #SupportingConservation

Flamingo's are famous for standing on one leg but why do they do this?
Though not fully understood the leading theory is conservation of body heat making Flamingos better suited to regulating their body temperature 🦩
