Yorkshire Wildlife Park has had a year marked by new arrivals of some of the world’s most endangered species.
The team at the cherished conservation park held their breath several times in 2023 as it prepared for its residents to give birth.
They included Giant Otters Alexandra and Orimar and their new female pup Fia, a new Cotton Top Tamarind Monkey born to Maurice and Consuela, and a newborn Dik-dik calf named Acorn.
And in an incredible effort, lioness Aysa and her three cubs who were rescued from an abandoned private zoo in Ukraine were brought safely to the park after staying in Poland.
These pictures provided by Yorkshire Wildlife Park recap the conservation project’s 2023 in review and shows off some of their new faces.
