Did you see the dragon flying over London this weekend in anticipation of House of the Dragon? 🐉

We work alongside with our Komodo dragon named Khalessi to advance understanding of Komodo dragons and safely monitor her health.

Through crate training our Zookeepers are able to build a strong bond with Khaleesi, ensuring she is comfortable with up close checks and always in tip-top shape.

Could England take home the world cup in our anniversary year? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆

Throwback to when a very fresh-faced Gary Lineker visited us around 1989, between his two world cup appearances. This young Spurs player had amazing achievements ahead of him, having been awarded a golden boot in Mexico, 40 years ago this year, and then earning (and still holding) the record for the most world cup goals ever scored by any individual England player, at 10 goals across 2 tournaments.

Obviously, we’re hopeful that Harry Kane beats him (this evening would be nice, Harry – we know you have 8 already), but most importantly we want to wish the lads all the luck in the world tonight and beyond.

We’re loving resurfacing memories like this from over 2 centuries of ZSL history, throughout our anniversary year. Huge thanks to our ZSL Library and Archives team for unearthing this previously unseen gem!
