The UK's largest zoo has set tails wagging with the exciting arrival of a pack of endangered African hunting dogs.
Also known as African wild dogs or painted dogs, five members of the fascinatingly charismatic species have been introduced to a huge new exhibit which opens for the first time on 1 April.
The pack will initially be made up of five females – a group of sisters named Malindi, BeeBee, Brandy, Donnie and Ginger – who have relocated from sister-site ZSL London Zoo.
It is hoped that the group will form a new conservation breeding group in the future, as part of the European Endangered Species Programme with the hope that males will join the pack in the future.
