Also - does anyone know where the racoon dogs went? i loved the racoon dogs!

As far as I'm aware the Raccoon Dogs are still at YWP, but have moved up to the top of the park (I think near where the giant rabbits are/were).

Yes, their new enclosure backs onto the farm animals and is near the start of the woodland walk.

i wasnt aware they had giant rabbits! i guess i was too interested in the lions, meerkats and painted african dogs to notice!

Having visited the Yorkshire Wildlife Park not long after it first opened, I wish it all the best. I know it has some very big and ambitious plans and I look forward to some of these coming to fruition. It certainly has the potential to become a very important collection. Yorkshire is a very big county very poorly served by zoos (as indeed is the whole north-east of England). The county does have a host of very good bird gardens and several bird-of-prey centres and public aquariums, but, apart from the YWP, the only other general animal collection is Flamingo Land way over to the east, which, in my opinion, loses much of its credibility by being a theme-park-cum-zoo (zoos and theme parks should not be combined). I hope that the Yorkshire Wildlife Park can fulfil its promise.
