The 3 European bison, part of a captive breeding programme for endangered species, form an impressive sight, as do the endangered giant otters, which can measure up to 1.8 metres.  

On the trail look out for the Scottish wildcats, ferrets, lynx, wild boar, wallabies, foxes, pine martens, polecats and harvest mice, and don’t miss the Tropical Butterfly House, open from Easter to end September, where you can watch colourful butterflies emerge from their pupae. 

There are keeper talks, feeding times, animal encounters and special events throughout the year. Children and grown-ups can enjoy the swings, zip wires, log jumbles and climbing nests in the two Go Wild! adventure playgrounds.
