Soil animals are very rarely found in most zoos. When was the last time you visited the zoo and fed the earthworms or watched the slaters pace back and forwards in their cage?

The Soils Zoo is a virtual zoo, which shows some of the different types of animals and organisms that live in soil. Some of these you could find yourself if you looked carefully into your garden or compost heap. Some of them are so small, they can only be seen using the most powerful microscopes.

Enjoy your visit to the Soils Zoo.
