Feline action awaits on this unique Wild Cat Experience for Two at Hoo Zoo Wildlife Park near Telford in Shropshire. This early morning experience voucher will see you as part of a group of up to four people, helping out the zoo's keepers with breakfast feeding time for four of their resident species of wild cats, including the Serval, the Bobcat, a Eurasian Lynx, the Jungle Cat, Rusty Spotted Cat and the Caracal - who believe us, are a lot more primal to your beloved house cats! The keepers will ensure your safety at all times and guide you through feeding them from the safety of a fence, and you'll also gain more insights into their behaviour, diet and natural habitats. Following your encounter, you'll get to stay on at Hoo Zoo and also see more of the fascinating animals and creatures to see on site!
