Brown Wallaby
The Brown Wallaby is a small marsupial that is found in Australia. They are related to the kangaroo and the wallaby, and they are the smallest of the wallaby species. Brown Wallabies typically weigh around 15 pounds and measure about 2 feet in length. They are a sandy brown color with a white underside, and they have a black stripe that runs along their backs.Brown Wallabies live in forests and woodlands, and they eat leaves, grasses, and other plants. They also eat insects, and they will occasionally steal food from nearby farms. Wallabies have a lifespan of around 10 years, and females give birth to one or two joeys (baby wallabies) at a time.
Wallabies are not currently endangered, but their numbers are declining due to habitat loss and hunting. However, they are still common throughout most of their range, and they can be found in several protected areas.
This brown wallaby we saw in Blackpool zoo is with a baby in her pouch!
White Wallaby
The White Wallaby is a beautiful creature that can be found in many parts of the world. They are known for their soft, white fur and their gentle demeanor. Wallabies are marsupials, which means they carry their young in a pouch on their stomach. Female wallabies can have one to three joeys at a time. Wallabies are herbivores and eat mostly grasses, leaves, and fruits. They are also known to eat flowers and tree bark. Wallabies live in groups called mobs. They can range in size from just a few animals to hundreds of wallabies. Wallabies are shy animals and will usually hide when they see humans. They are not considered to be dangerous, but they can be pests to farmers because they like to eat crops.
There is a significant difference between white wallabies and brown wallabies. White wallabies are typically found in the more temperate areas of Australia, while brown wallabies are typically found in the more arid areas. Brown wallabies are also considerably larger than white wallabies.
This lovely white wallaby we saw in Blackpool is with pinky eyes! (Sorry the picture didn’t capture this really clearly).

The wolves are kept in a large enclosure with plenty of room to run, and there is a viewing platform where visitors can watch the wolves interact. The wolves are usually very active, and they often play together or chase each other around. It’s a great opportunity to see these beautiful animals up close.
Orangutans
Orangutans are primates that are found in Southeast Asia. They are the largest of the Asian apes, and males can weigh up to 150 pounds. They are typically reddish-brown in color, with long arms and no tail. Orangutans have a very wide range of facial expressions, which they use to communicate with one another. They are also very intelligent animals and can learn to use tools for tasks such as getting food.
Orangutans live in forested areas, where they make nests in the trees to sleep in. They are diurnal animals, meaning they are active during the day. The orangutan population is declining due to deforestation and hunting. Orangutans are also listed as endangered by the IUCN.
Blackpool Zoo is home to four orangutans: two males and two females. The zoo works to educate visitors about the plight of these animals, and how they can help protect them.

They are also very charismatic, and it’s always fascinating to watch them interact with each other and with their keepers.
One of the best things about Blackpool zoo is that you can get up close to the animals. You can even feed the lions!
