Dublin Zoo livestream: Here's how you can watch the animals from your own home

Families across Ireland are being forced to stay indoors as much as possible as the country is gripped by the coronavirus pandemic.

For parents, one of the hardest things to do is keep children entertained as they spend more time at home than ever while schools are shut.

One of the first places that had to close due to the outbreak was Dublin Zoo and although the public can't visit - the animals still call it home.

Even though we may not be able to see the animals in person (for now), there are still ways to watch what they're up to and even see them being fed at certain times.

On the Dublin Zoo website, they have three webcams that show you inside the African Savanna, the penguin enclosure and where the elephants live.

According to Dublin Zoo, the best times to see the elephants are at 10.30am and 12.30pm, while the penguins have feeding time at 2.30pm!

All the webcams can be viewed at www.dublinzoo.ie.

And Dublin Zoo have also launched activity books that can be downloaded from their website - and keep little minds active.

The first two are available to download now, and focus on the red panda and rhinoceros.
