Conservation in action: Twycross Zoo is dedicated to preserving threatened species whilst providing education, study and wonder for our visitors. Through our successful breeding programmes, we provide a safe haven for wildlife in an increasingly crowded planet. Our science and conservation work is carried out with integrity, to help ensure that all of our animals have the best possible futures. Meet the family: The bonobos are humans’ closest living relative and are part of our world-class collection of primates. In addition, you will find everything here from elephants to sea lions, leopards to giraffes and camels to exotic birds.
