Scandinavian Wildlife Park - Bear Park

Part of the huge Bear Park in the Scandinavian Wildlife Park, Denmark. Here lives a group of European brown bears. This picture is taken during a feeding session.
August 2007

This is a glorious enclosure! Is there a section that is heavily wooded? I seem to remember from photos a small forest in part of the exhibit.

No, I'm affraid not. There are some trees, but not many. Hopefully, some will grow there eventually. To me, this is the only lack of the enclosure. Thankfully it is great in every other way

WOW, Toddy l had never heard of this place. It looks fantastic. This exhibit tripled there attendacnce numbers from the previous year.Also building of a boardwalk thorugh the facility now thats not necesarily new but what a great effect it produces. I hope other zoos see this as an example.

Guess now l will have to go to Denmark!!!

Thanks for the great enclosure pics matey.

If you ever do go to Denmark, let me know. I shall be glad to guide you

It rreally does suprise me that l had not heard of this place before! Is it well known or famous in Denmark?

Yes, the park is quite famous now, but has only been since recently. The park was on national TV in 2002 with their new Wolf Park. Then in 2003 the Bear Park opened creating more publicity. Ín 2006 the park appeared in a series of programs on Danish TV about various Danish zoos (this was when they got their polar bears).
