After Bristol Zoo announced that it will be closing its Clifton site, the public learnt of plans to create two major new areas for its animals at the expanded Wild Place site in South Gloucestershire, which will be renamed as the new Bristol Zoo when it all opens in 2024.
The huge conservation park is promoted as a haven for animals and hosts a wide range of different areas for furry friends such as meerkats, baboons and more. However, without a doubt the main attraction is the huge 'Bear Wood'.
It is an open space where the bears roam, which visitors can watch over from the 700m raised walkway. And as if bears weren't exciting enough they also live alongside wolves, lynxes and wolverines.
