Reaseheath Mini Zoo on Instagram: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved friend, Timmy, a Brazilian Tapir, here at Reaseheath Mini Zoo. Timmy joined us in 2007 and has been a cherished member of our zoo family, delighting staff, students, and visitors alike. In recent years, Timmy’s health began to decline due to worsening arthritis in his joints and untreatable cataracts that affected his eyesight. Despite dedicated care from our vets at Birch Heath Veterinary Clinic and adaptations to his home and daily routine to support his needs, Timmy’s condition continued to deteriorate. Following advice from several vets who assessed his medical history and long-term prognosis, the difficult decision was made to put Timmy to sleep to prevent further suffering. We will always treasure our fond memories of Timmy and are deeply grateful to the staff, students, and visitors who have cared for and spent time with him over the years. We invite you to share your own memories or special photos of Timmy as we remember the joy he brought to so many."

George has been at Reaseheath Mini Zoo since 2007 after arriving from Africa Alive. George has had ongoing health issues related to his age, including osteoarthritis. However, despite regular ongoing veterinary care and the best TLC from our keeping team, George had continued to deteriorate in the past weeks and the whole Reaseheath team has had to make this difficult decision. We know George will be greatly missing by our current and past students, out visitors, and our staff- many of whom have been working with to George since he arrived. Our team would love for you to share your pictures and memories of George in the comments- as we love hearing from all of you. You will be missed, George. #minizoo #reaseheathcollege #zookeeper #biaza #zoo #serval"
