Our troop of baboons have made the newspapers again this week. Not with their destruction of cars this time but with their incredible grasp of information technology and social networking on the world wide web.

Our baboons have launched their own Twitter under the name of KnowsleyBaboons on the social networking site www.twitter.com so you can now follow their antics on a daily basis and in their own words!

The twitter is actually the creation of Andy Donaldson and his team at Hitsearch UK who are working with the safari park as part of the online marketing plan, and we soon hope to have the lions, rhino, meerkats and giraffe all twittering along too.

To contact Hitsearch click the "social media marketing" link at the very bottom of the page.
