This June, visitors to Korkeasaari Zoo in Helsinki will have the unique opportunity to step back in time and come face-to-face with the rulers of the prehistoric world, as the zoo unveils its new animatronic dinosaur exhibition. Running from June 1st to October 20th, 2024, the exhibition features nearly thirty life-size dinosaurs, occupying their own designated Jurassic and Cretaceous areas within the zoo grounds.
At Korkeasaari Wildlife Hospital, four grey seal pups are currently receiving care, raising awareness about the plight of these young marine animals along Helsinki’s coastlines. The hospital has become a sanctuary for these pups, often found in distress and separated from their mothers too early in life.
The first of these pups arrived at the hospital in late March from Inkoo, exhibiting their distinctive white pup fur, which serves to keep them warm during their initial weeks of life while they are still dependent on their mothers milk.
Korkeasaari Zoo in Helsinki has welcomed back snow leopards with the arrival of two young female snow leopards, reviving the zoo s tradition of housing this magnificent and endangered species. The previous inhabitant of the enclosure has moved to Ähtäri Zoo to meet a new mate, as part of efforts to maintain a healthy captive population of snow leopards, which serves as a lifeline for the species native to cold mountainous regions.
