I haven't been since the switch but I understand they've moved to new exhibit up near the farm paddock.

Yes you are correc-it's open fenced so they can see out now

Do Yorkshire Wildlife Park still hold Racoon Dogs?

@Cat-Man Sadly no - they did bring in more to replace the originals, but they're no longer there.

@Maguari that’s a shame. I remember 10 years (I can’t believe it’s been that long since they opened!) these were the main attraction for us zoo nerds.

I did look on zootierliste and it seems like they’re all over the place in Europe and even have lots of holders in the U.K, unfortunately none of these are what you would describe as major collections!

It’s a shame they don’t have these anymore - they were the big attraction for us Zoochatters when the place first opened!
