Telford's Exotic Zoo re-opens in time for half term - with a special new arrival
Telford's Exotic Zoo is now open seven days a week - with a special new arrival to mark the occasion.
The popular Telford attraction is fully open again in time for half term.
And for the occasion the Telford Town Park-based zoo has welcomed a stunning Brazilian porcupine named Wilbur.
Scott Adams, managing director of the zoo, said they were thrilled to be sharing their new arrival with the visitors - and being fully re-opened.
He said: "We are super excited to be welcoming the arrival of a really unusual animal in the zoo world, a Brazilian tree porcupine!
"In the porcupine world this species stands out in the crowd with black and white quills, a giant squishy pink nose and a prehensile tale.
"It's also said it sounds like they talk because of the amount of cute and unusual noises they make.
"It is a very, vital worthy animal full of character and we think it's going to be a great hit with visitors and a real conservation ambassador for the rainforest."
