✨ Storybook adventures have been filling the Foot Safari all week at Once Upon A Time… 📖🌲

From little ones creating their own finger puppets and putting on performances at our puppet stages, to spinning the giant story spinners and dreaming up the funniest mixed-up characters and tales 🐸👑🐺

Families have been getting cosy for storytime inside the tipi, before heading off to snap a pic outside the Three Little Piggies’ house 🐷🏡📸

There’s still plenty of magic to discover this week, so grab your little storytellers and come join the adventure 💫

This we’re sharing a beautiful visitor picture of a starling on site earlier this month. Thank you to Nina Allen for the snap! 📸 I Love Birds and Nature

Did you know⁉️

⭐ Starlings may look black from a distance but up close their plumage is shiny with a metallic green and purple sheen!

⭐ They’re super chatty birds and will mimic sounds in their environment, like other birds, animals or even car alarms!

⭐ They’re on the UK Red List of Conservation Concern because of declining populations.

A peaceful farewell to Handaya after 17 happy years.

We are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our African lioness, Handaya, who passed away in her sleep on Monday 18th May.
 
Handaya had been experiencing age-related health issues, and had been monitored, assessed and treated by our vets and keepers for the last few months.
 
Born at Knowsley Safari in 2008, Handaya was approaching her 18th birthday, a testament to her long and well-lived life.
She passed peacefully after many happy years at the Safari and will be fondly remembered by her keepers, guests, and her pride.
