Animals enjoy Easter enrichment

Watch our new live video webcams
We've set up two cameras in the park for you to get your Marwell fix at any time of day. See our ring-tailed coatis forage and play – do they ever stop? Look closely and you may also see the Somali wild ass beyond the coatis. You can also enjoy sweeping views of our tapir, pygmy hippo and rhino paddocks as well as our flamingos, scimitar-horned oryx and ostrich.
