Llamas and alpacas

Tall, curious and fond of a feed bag. The midday talk explains how to tell them apart.

The llamas and alpacas are happy to be fed from the bags sold at reception. Hold your hand flat and they will do the rest.

The noon talk covers the difference between the two (ears and size, mostly), what the fleece is for and why they hum. Spitting is rare and usually aimed at each other, not you.

Black foxes

Silver-black foxes with their own big enclosure. The 4 o'clock feed is the talk people plan their day around.

Ferrets

Quick, nosy and funnier than they have any right to be. The ferret talk is at 2pm.
