My work about Paradise wildlife park

​Jaguar Jungle

​Jaguar jungle is where you come face to face with these beautiful cats up close and learn about there natural habitat in the wild. And you can learn about them when the zookeepers do there Jaguar talk and feeding times.

​

​Lion pride lands

​You can come along and feed these big cats when the keepers do there white lion talk and you can learn about there survival in the wild.

​

​Lion pride lands has a male lion called Moto and three females called Kya, Izulu, and Zuri

​Land of the Tigers

​Land of the tigers is home to ALEENA and SIBERIA they are both Amur tigers and are loving there new home called Land of the Tigers. Their enclosure offers them plenty of space to walk around and they have a massive pool to swim around in because tigers love water and to splash.

​Meet Jessie and Panja the snow leopards

​Snow Leopards

​

​What was Jessies reaction when she saw the CCTV camera?

​Sun bear Heights

​Sun bears live in the dense woodlands of Southeast Asia. Being the smallest of the bear species doesn’t take away the power and strength that it holds. The sun bears powerful bite and sharp claws are used to bite and rip into trees to get to the insects inside. They live solitary lives, apart from when female sun bears are raising their cubs, which they raise for around the first 3 years of their lives until the cubs have matured and become fully independent.

​EUROPEAN WOLF

​Diet: Beavers, rabbits, carrion, berries on their own but operate as a pack to bring down Moose, Elk, and ungulates, such as moose, caribou, deer, elk and wild boar, bison.

​Life Span: 7-8 years wild 20 years captivity

​Distribution: North America and Europe. Several Asian populations also exist

​Red Fox

​It is now our most widespread wild canine species in the world. Red foxes can produce 28 different vocalisations. The male red fox is referred to as a dog, while the female is known as a vixen. The red fox’s tail is known as a brush, and can be used by the fox as a warm cover in cold weather.

​Diet: Omnivores, rodents, rabbits, fruit.

​Distribution: Europe, Asia, North America and introduced into Australia.

​Red Panda

​Meet Tilly the red panda

​Tilly came to us from Beauval in France and is a very big Red Panda, both in size and personality! Since arriving at Paradise, she has mothered a pair of boys that were Paradise’s first-ever Red Panda cubs!

​BINTURONG

​Binturongs are often described as an animal that’s appearance looks like a cross between a cat and a bear, however movement that mimics a racoon. Binturongs are commonly found live in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, where they spend the majority of their time high in the treetops. Even though they are a carnivore they eat a mixture of fruit, insects and small birds.

​African crested porcupine

​MEET NANCY & ELLIE

​Our two African Crested Porcupines are called Nancy & Ellie. They joined the Paradise family in June 2021 and have settled in really well.

​Nancy spends the majority of her day asleep in bed and then spends her evenings digging holes and chewing on the logs and branches keepers have placed in the enclosure.

​Ellie is a little timider than her housemate, Nancy but keepers say she is settling in very well. Nancy has even taken Ellie under her wing (or spikes!) and they are often seen cuddling up in bed together.

​Black and white ruffed lemur

​Diet: They eat fruit, leaves and other plants Life Span: 25+ years captivity Distribution: Eastern Rainforest of Madagascar

​Ring tailed lemur

​Both vocal and scent signals are important to the Ring-tailed Lemur’s communication: fifteen distinct vocalisations are used to maintain group cohesion during foraging and alert group members to the presence of a predator. The stripy tail is used as a flag when they are walking on the ground, held aloft where others can see. The tail is also used in “stink fights” where the animals rub their tails against scent glands on their arms and wave them over their heads at the opponent. Lemurs have longer and more sensitive noses than other primates. This also suggests that smell is an important way of communicating with them.

​Capybara

​MEET COROLINE

​Coroline is just under 1 years old, and she is our female Capybara that has joined us from All Things Wild. She is already settling in well, is more confident then Maní and can be seen exploring her habitat or sitting in her water. She loves nothing more than tucking into to all of her vegetables, and she has shown a fondness for butternut squash.

​MEET MANÍ

​Maní is a 1-year-old male Capybara that has joined us from Shepreth Wildlife Park. He is quite shy and is taking a little longer to settle in his new home here at Paradise Wildlife Park and spends most of the day in his bed. However, he is a bit of a night owl and enjoys exploring his habitat late into the night. Maní is lighter in colour than Coroline and also slightly larger than her.

​Red ruffed lemur

​Sometimes these families are grouped in loose communities of up to 30 animals. The animals keep in touch while travelling through the forest, and come together when a fruiting tree is found. Neighbouring groups call to each other through the forest with raucous calls. They have an elaborate system of alarm calls which alert group members to danger. Red ruffed lemurs produce litters of offspring and can have up to six infants at one time, but more usually twins are produced. They are also unusual in that they do not carry their young on their stomachs or backs but instead leave their babies in a nest of leaves whilst they go off to find food alone.

​West African Dwarf Crocodile

​Our West African dwarf crocodile Cletus, born in September 2012, joined us on the 17th of August and our zookeepers are happy to say he’s settled into his new home comfortably. Make sure you book your tickets to come and visit Cletus the fantastic West African Dwarf Crocodile in our Temple of Angkor here at Paradise Wildlife Park!

​MEET CLETUS

​Chinese Crocodile Lizard

​The Chinese crocodile lizard spends much of its time in shallow water or in overhanging branches and vegetation, where it hunts its prey of insects, snails, tadpoles, and worms. Individuals in captivity may be fed baby mice. A rare and little-studied lizard, which regulates the international trade of specimens.

​Taiwan Beauty Snake

​Taiwan Beauty snakes are semi-arboreal and highly active which makes them formidable predators.

​Their patterns are extremely variable with a stripe running from under the eye to just behind their jaw line. They will lay between 4 and 15 eggs.

​Barons Racer

​Philodryas baroni is a species of mildly venomous snake endemic to South America, they are a mainly arboreal species active throughout the day, and is known for its long nose, with a wide distinctive head to its slender body.

​Colouration can vary from green, brown and blue but all individuals will have the charismatic black stripe running down the length of the their back.

​Madagascan Hognose

​Hognoses are so called because of their distinctive upturned nose

​They use this nose for digging around in the soil to unearth the toads and frogs that are their natural prey. Is the largest of the Hognose family. Widespread habitat destruction in Madagascar has resulted in a reduction of most species of reptiles and amphibians in Madagascar. As a result, it is uncertain how long the Island nation can sustain wild caught exports.
