DUBLIN Zoo is celebrating a bumper year with a record one million visitors in 2011.

DUBLIN ZOO is inviting the public to come up with a name for its newest attraction — a nine-day-old giraffe.

There were jumbo celebrations in Dublin Zoo today as its first baby elephant was officially named.

Dublin Zoo was so fed up by the mood swings of its female polar bear that it commissioned a study to find out what was wrong – and discovered that her male companion was stressing her out.

Two bears are being given treatment for psychological problems at Dublin Zoo.
