Bears and wolves live side by side in UK first for zoos

- Our European brown bears and grey wolves have begun living side by side together for the first time in a UK Zoo!
The four bears and five wolves were recently given access to the same woodland exhibit within our award-winning Bear Wood.
After some initial curiosity and playful chasing, the two species were soon quietly sharing the same space beneath the trees as they would have done in this country thousands of years ago.
It is a huge milestone for us as we prepare to reopen after an 13-week closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I've never heard of this. I can't believe they thought of doing this in Southern England, before (more of) Scotland, or even northern England.
Hopefully one day Wolves will come back to Scotland. England probably is not good for them Wolverines and Lynxes can live in both. Bears? Maybe one day.
Arthur will come again! Arthur is Celtic for bear. How can Wales or Scotland be whole without Arthur?
really?
You mean england?

Yes and his father Uther is celtic bear name variant.
This is hella risky for a zoo. The brief footage they did show of the bear on its back surrounded by wolves - the bear looked pretty stressed!
I'm not sure whether I ethically agree with this project.
Yeah it would maybe be cool if the enclosure were… 100 acres or something. Feels a bit like the Roman Coliseum, with exotic animals being pitted against one another… to see what happens.
I have been many times and almost every time the bears and wolves are incredibly relaxed and live in peace, but another great thing about wild place is every habitat is absolutely huge for the species housed in the habitat, it is by far my favourite zoo in the UK that I have been to and I thoroughly recommend a visit, don't judge it until you have been!
All fun and games till they leave 😂 that's how we got boars again
I’m confused, some of these clips appear to be from the Dutch zoo, Ouwenhands Dierenpark, where a very similar exhibit exists. I don’t doubt these are clips from Bristol, but I’ve just seen a video from the Dutch zoo and it looks identical…
I have a question, the wolves and bears are in the same exibith? Didn't a wolf got killed by bears in a zoo? Is it really a good ideia to join this creatures since they are natural enemys? Loved the video but i'm kinda scared for the future of the wolves.
They get monitored so it’s fairly safe, and don’t have to compete for food in desperation as much since they get fed
Yes i saw that video footage. Tragic. Its a little cautious and risky,but ...BUT. Bears and wolves live in the same habitat in the wild,and as long as they are CLOSELY moniutored.
I went to wild place today. The wolves and bears were chilling together it was all good
Great Video but we should put these in the wild now with the Deer over populated and the Boar starting to do damage now and even the Beaver now populating even more we need these Alpha predators now more than ever.
Well Beavers still have a natural predator the Red Fox so they’re fine. But yeah Wolves and Lynxes defo need to come back in the Highlands and Forest of Dean well maybe just the Lynx for the Forest but still.
Great idea but it’s not that simple. Maybe we can start with the Scottish wildcat not going extinct, and maybe it will even expand its range once again further south. Oh wait, everyone’s pet cats wander around outside and can breed with them… so that’s extinct already. Lol. Maybe lynx should be reintroduced, that would be great, but I think too many people are scared of the possible damage to livestock, and will likely hunt the predators.
Foxes usually eat mice, voles, shrews, moles, rats, reptiles, insects, and anything small they can find. Of course, birds, chickens, etc. too. But they don’t necessarily like water and beavers are pretty big compared to a fox. Sharp teeth, very alert, and they slap the water with their tails to let all the other beavers know when there’s danger. I know that a lost or orphaned baby beaver on land would be an easy target for a fox…but a grown beaver, near the water?
