This is really interesting. " Now that autumn's here, the red deer rut is in full swing!
At this important time of year, this beautiful big boy (aptly named Hazard) will be sparring using his impressive antlers for the girls' attention.
Deer shed their antlers every year and then grow a completely new set which is quite amazing given the size of those on Hazard".

Longleat normally close the Deer Park reserve during the autumn rut. Does advertising it like this mean they haven't done so this October? I don't really understand why they do so as although stags can be dangerous at this time, people are in their cars at Longleat- at other deer parks like Richmond you can approach on foot although they do warn you to keep distance.
Oh yes the Deer Park always closed during the rutting season
So I can't see the point of advertising the behaviour if you can't see it there?
that is why the gates are closed during that time
There's sad news as I just been to Facebook just now. Alf the last member of the Timber Wolves passed away earlier this week at the age of 13. Wolf Wood now passes to the European Grey Wolves but the Canadian Timber Wolf pack will never be forgotten
Do they state what he died of, natural causes? The one that was put down 2 weeks ago they stated it was kidney stones according to an earlier post.
no. it's just old age for a wolf like Alf
What's "Under the Moon" exhibit?
I believe it is in the Bat Area, yes, but now there is a great big moon exhibition in the middle and some more nocturnal animals like slow loris. I don’t know much more apart from it is only temporary. Hope this helps
Indeed, @Embu ! Besides which, that isn't what the Under the Moon exhibit is/was..! It was completely separate to the former bat area - it was a (rather odd-sounding) special installation in the Longhouse building that included Slender Loris and a massive replica of the moon amongst the exhibits: Longleat Safari Park 2021 [Longleat Safari & Adventure Park]
Thank you @Maguari and @pangolin12. It's been that long since my last visit I possibly wouldn't recognise the walk safari anymore haha
From a post back on June 10th in this thread (see below), it was mentioned that Longleat would try and find a more permanent home for the slender lorises somewhere in the park after the exhibition ended:
Having spoke to the keepers when the exhibition was on, the loris were only ever on a loan and they said they will have to be returned.
Have a look at this
That's a shame. Thanks for the reply. It seems a shame the park no longer has a nocturnal exhibit. Hopefully in the future they will consider developing a new area/house.
