The Wild Wolf Breakfast is an amazing opportunity to help our keepers feed our Wolves and Foxes.
Find out more about the animals included on this experience!
Arctic Wolves are powerful predators native to the frozen tundras of the Arctic. With their thick white fur, keen eyes, and muscular build, they are perfectly adapted to surviving in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
These carnivores primarily hunt in packs, preying on caribou, musk oxen, and smaller mammals. Their sharp teeth and incredible endurance allow them to travel vast distances in search of food, and their social structure helps them work together to bring down large prey.
At Hoo Zoo, our Arctic Wolf helps visitors learn about the social behaviors of pack animals, the importance of apex predators in ecosystems, and the need to protect vulnerable Arctic habitats. Observing these majestic, resilient animals up close gives visitors a chance to appreciate their teamwork, strength, and vital role in the Arctic food chain.
The Eurasian wolf (Canis lupus lupus), also known as the common wolf or Middle Russian forest wolf, is a subspecies of grey wolf native to Europe and the forest and steppe zones of the former Soviet Union. It was once widespread throughout Eurasia prior to the Middle Ages. Aside from an extensive paleontological record, Indo-European languages typically have several words for wolf, thus attesting to the animal's abundance and cultural significance. It was held in high regard in Baltic, Celtic, Slavic, Turkic, ancient Greek, Roman, and Thracian cultures, whilst having an ambivalent reputation in early Germanic cultures.[Credit: Wikipedia]
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.
You will have the opportunity to take part in enrichment activities and tong feed our Wolves at Hoo Zoo. Throughout this unforgettable experience, a keeper will remain with you at all times, sharing fascinating insights about the animals and ensuring your safety. Wolf feeding takes place from the dedicated keeper area just outside the wolf paddock.
You will then be taken to meet the Wolves near cousins – our Red OR Corsac Foxes – where you’ll be invited into the enclosure to hand feed.
Hand-Feed Foxes: Enter the enclosure and bond with these playful, curious creatures as you feed them directly from your hand. Meet either our Red or Corsac Foxes!
Feed Wolves: Through the Fence: Stand just inches away from majestic wolves as you offer them food through the safety of a fence. Observe their strength, grace, and pack behaviour in a way you’ve never seen before!
Photo Opportunities: Capture the moment! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take incredible photos with our fantastic Foxes and amazing Wolves as they interact with you.
This once-in-a-lifetime experience is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, animal lovers, or anyone looking for a unique adventure. Our knowledgeable guides ensure a safe, respectful, and enriching interaction for both you and the animals.
By the keepers discretion we may choose to forgo the food preparation part of the experience in order to allow more time with the animals. This will happen in the event that the keeper decides that the Wolves or Foxes are being more interactive on that day.
As our animals welfare is of utmost importance and we are privileged to be able to get so close to these species – we will not force our animals to do anything against their nature and all interaction is done on their terms.
Participants must be able bodied and 16 years or older.
Experiences are taken in groups of 4.
