Welcome, ‘Marshie’

February 09, 2024 | 1 minute read

Hop on the caravan, we have exciting news – another female Bactrian camel has joined our zoo family! We are excited to welcome 7-year-old ‘Marshie’.

Marshie is now calling the camel habitat in Exploration Asia home alongside our other Bactrian camel resident, 18-year-old female ‘Zsa-Zsa’. Marshie seems to be settling in well and has even been seen sharing the camel shelter with her new habitat mate!

Stop by the yard outside of Gateway to Asia to catch a glimpse of our newest resident.
