New Arrival at the Park

The Curraghs Wildlife Park have welcomed a new resident.

The 18 month old European Elk travelled from the Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland.

She can be seen in the European area of the park.

We sked visitors to the park over the Christmas holidays to suggest a name for her, the winning entry came from 6 year old Phoebe Cleator from Sulby. Tony the elks keeper chose the name Willow, he thought it was a great name as willow forms a high proportion of the elks diet. Phoebe has chosen to meet and feed the Penguins at the park for her prize. Well done Phoebe!

Young Friends: meet in the school room on the last Sunday in the month at 2pm.
