You're invited to a Wild Wolf Breakfast with this unique animal encounter experience, bringing you face to face with some of the most unique carnivores at Hoo Zoo near Telford in Shropshire on an early morning wolf experience as part of a group of up to four participants. Join the experienced keepers as you help prepare raw meat and feed the zoo's resident Arctic Wolves, Eurasian Wolf hybrids and Red and Corsac foxes. You'll use food tongs to feed the wolves their favourite breakfast time meats from the keeper's area adjacent to the wolf paddock, which will afford you a fascinating chance to observe their behaviours and pack dynamics, with the keeper offering more information about how they look after these special creatures. You may even have the chance to enter the fox enclosure to see and feed the Red and Corsac foxes by hand under the guidance of the keeper, who will ensure your safety at all times. After your encounter, you will be free to explore the rest of Hoo Zoo and the many other interesting animals and creatures that there are to see!
