Chessington World Of Adventures
Tuesday 11th February 2020

Chessington World of Adventures have announced the launch of a brand-new messaging service, Wild WhatsApp. Giving guests and animal lovers the chance to contact Chessington zookeepers directly with all their animal-related questions. Launched on Monday, 3rd February 2020, members of the public have been able to speak to the experts simply by sending a WhatsApp message via the app to 07725 489 169. 


Questions like animals never have to go unanswered again! We tried it out ourselves with a question. What is a group of Giraffe’s called? Within seconds we had an expert zoo keeper message us back with the answer. A group of Giraffes is called a tower. 


Since the Wild WhatsApp Service was launch, the park has had many amazing questions asked.


Some of the best questions asked so far: 

How often do snails have babies?
