Happy Father’s Day from one of our incredible dads S**a the siamang. This super dad is taking the reins caring for 2yo Berani while Basuki takes care of baby number two.

Duchess the springbok is 100% behind the allblacks ahead of this weekends game, even if Oom did try to steer her towards supporting bokrugby.

We’re sure it’ll be another great game no matter the result!

Our springbok are back with a prediction for the allblacks vs bokrugby game this weekend. It was a tough decision with much deliberation from Duchess, but she is backing black again this week!

What are your predictions?

A huge thank you to Mitre 10 MEGA Papanui for their generous donation of a water blaster, w**d sprayers and more to the Park!

Vin and Kelly recently dropped off this fantastic equipment, which will help us maintain great spaces for our animals, visitors and team, while supporting the conservation and community work we do every day.

We're incredibly grateful for their support and the difference it will make. We look forward to getting to know the Mitre 10 Mega Papanui team better and exploring opportunities to work together in the future.

Thank you, for helping us create a thriving place for wildlife, conservation and community.

With the All Blacks taking on the Springboks this weekend, we checked in with New Zealand's only springbok to see who they were supporting. Let's just say national loyalties weren't a factor.

Born a springbok. Backing black.

Who are you supporting this weekend?
