After visited some nice zoos during the Christmas vacation ( Vienna, Zurich, Duisburg and Krefeld) I decided to pass through Nordens Ark on my way back home. The zoo is quite remote, but easily accessible by car from Oslo or Gothenburg. There is a also daily public transport connection from Uddevalla. Nordens Ark is located on the bank of the beautiful Åbyfjord and is a great spot to spend the weekend. They have hotel, restaurant and even a conference area with a view to one of the Tiger enclosures. The place is more wildlife sanctuary, than a zoo. They work actively with breading and reintroduction of endangered species, both in Europe and abroad. The collection is not so big, but the enclosures for most of the inhabitants are one of the best on the continent. Snow leopard and Persian Leopard have remarkable steep rock homes and it is real trill to observe them climbing or jumping on the bare edges of the rock. The Persian leopard cub running from his mother, was spectacular to watch. The Grey wolves and Wolverines live in a real Woods, but was not hard to spot them. I assume is a bit harder during the Spring/Summer season. The Amur tigers also have multiply enclosures in a huge mountain area plus smaller exhibit with indoor view in the conference area.The Scottish wild cats were off show, but the Manuls and Lynxes were visible in their nice naturalistic homes. There are two separated Tadjik Urial herds and Tadjik Markhor herd in a spacious forest area on the fjord's bank. Wisents and Prezhevalski horses grazing in an enormous paddock, freely accessible from outside. Most of the birds, amphibians and reptiles are in the Wetland zone, while only the White-backed woodpecker and Cabot's tragopan, Great grey owl and Eagle owl live in separated enclosures around the park. The farm, build in a shape of Noah's Ark and rearing some rare domestic breeds also deserve attention. The Nordens Ark is definitely unique place and unmissable part of any Scandinavian zoo trip.
