Shaldon Zoo
Shaldon Zoo also known as Shaldon Wildlife Trust is a conservation centre in Shaldon, Devon. Set in an acre of woodland above the village near to the coastline, they look after and help preserve some of the rarest and most endangered animals in the world, with a focus on small primates.
The zoo is a member of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums and also a member of EAZA, the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria.
The zoo started out as a children's zoo in 1963, before becoming the Shaldon Wildlife Trust in 1985, for the conservation of small endangered species. Despite its small size, Shaldon Zoo has proven itself to be highly regarded globally for its conservation work and breeding programmes. In 2024, founder of the Trust, Stewart Muir, received a lifetime achievement award from EAZA.
Shaldon Zoo cares for over 50 species of mammals, birds and reptiles. Many of the animals are part of managed breeding programmes. The zoo is also home to many rare species including Pygmy slow lorises, Owston's palm civets, Lemur leaf frogs, Bali mynas and Blue-eyed black lemurs.
The zoo focuses mainly on primates including the Red-titi monkeys, Ring tailed lemurs, Yellow-breasted capuchins, Grey slender lorises, Common squirrel monkeys, Cotton-top tamarins, Grey mouse lemurs, Pied tamarins, Pygmy marmosets, Red-bellied lemurs and Red-ruffed lemurs.
Other mammals include Margays, Meerkats, Azara's agoutis, Binturongs, Southern three-banded armadillos, Prevost's squirrels and Brush-tailed bettongs.
The zoo's collection of birds includes Black-cheeked lovebirds, Northern white-faced owls and Blue-throated conures.
The zoo is home to Yellow-footed tortoises, Blue poison dart frogs, Yellow-headed day geckos, Golden mantellas and Phantasmal poison frogs, among other species.
