HELLO! WELCOME TO COLCHESTER ZOO
ZOO NEWS
There's always a new story to tell at Colchester Zoo, from welcoming new arrivals, to exciting things to see and discover.
Sammy the Fennec Fox new resident at Colchester Zoo!
Sammy arrived from Chessington World of Adventures on 13th January 2016. Sammy is living in her new home at ‘Lion Rock’ in a neighbouring enclosure to our male Fennec fox, Sudan.
Since arriving Sammy has settled in well and has become more familiar with her new surroundings. She has now also been introduced to male Sudan and despite showing some intial nerves the pair seem to be getting along well and it is hoped they will be able to live happily together. Sammy and Sudan are easily recognisable by their large ears, which are about ten centimetres in length!
You can see Sammy in her enclosure at ‘Lion Rock’! Watch this space for more updates on our pair meeting for the first time!
Did you know!? The Fennec fox is the smallest of all foxes weighing in at just 1 kilogram!
