The Carnivore Combo is a fantastic opportunity to get up close and personal with 4 top predators.
Find out more about the animals included on this experience!
Red Foxes are one of the most adaptable and widespread canids, found across a variety of habitats, from forests to grasslands to urban areas. With their vibrant red-orange fur, bushy tails, and sharp features, they are quick, clever, and perfectly built for a life of stealth and agility.
These omnivores have a varied diet, including small mammals, birds, fruits, and insects. They are opportunistic hunters, using their keen senses of sight and hearing to track prey, while their cleverness and agility make them masters of both solo and scavenging hunts. Their distinctive, bushy tail helps with balance and acts as a warm cover during cold nights.
At Hoo Zoo, our Red Fox offers visitors a chance to discover the incredible adaptability of wild animals, the importance of predators in diverse ecosystems, and the remarkable survival skills needed to thrive in changing environments. Observing this intelligent, resourceful fox up close provides an appreciation for its role in keeping nature’s balance in check.
Servals are sleek, medium-sized wild cats native to the grasslands and savannas of Africa. With their long legs, large ears, and spotted golden fur, they are built for speed, agility, and expert hunting in open landscapes.
These carnivores feed primarily on birds, rodents, and small mammals, using their incredible leaping ability and sharp claws to catch prey mid-air. Known for their exceptional hearing, servals can detect even the smallest movements in the tall grasses.
At Hoo Zoo, our Serval helps visitors explore the remarkable adaptations of wild cats, the dynamics of grassland ecosystems, and the importance of conserving African wildlife. Observing this graceful, agile predator up close gives visitors a chance to appreciate its speed, precision, and vital role in controlling prey populations.
The Striped Skunk is a small, nocturnal mammal known for its bold black and white fur and its infamous defensive spray. Found across North America, it is a member of the weasel family and is easily recognizable by its distinctive stripe pattern that runs down its back and tail.
Despite its fearsome reputation, the Striped Skunk is primarily a scavenger and omnivore, feeding on insects, small animals, fruits, and plants. It uses its keen sense of smell to forage for food, and when threatened, it can spray a foul-smelling liquid from its glands as a powerful defense mechanism to ward off predators.
At Hoo Zoo, our Striped Skunk helps visitors learn about the unique behaviours and adaptations of small mammals, the role of scent in animal defence, and how these creatures contribute to controlling insect and rodent populations. Observing this fascinating, quirky animal up close gives visitors a chance to appreciate the diversity of wildlife in their own backyards.
The Carnivore Combo is a fantastic opportunity to get up close and personal with 4 top Predators. During the hour long experience, you’ll get to meet our Servals, feed the Foxes and stroke one of our Skunks and Snakes.
The first animal will be one of our Skunks. We have several Skunks that get used on this experience and you’ll have the fantastic opportunity to handle one of them.
You’ll then move onto one of our Fox groups. This could be the Red or Arctic Foxes depending on the day. You can hand feed them their favourite food (chicken) – this isn’t for the faint of heart as the chicken comes in its purest form but gloves are provided.
After this you’ll meet one of our slithery friends. This is usually a boa constrictor – although this can change.
You’ll finish the experience with Duma or Zeus, one of our Servals who you will be offered the amazing opportunity to feed through our fencing. In the event that they aren’t wanting any food then you will go over to our Lynx instead.
