Join us at 12:00pm on 23rd March for a talk and feed to celebrate World Bear Day!

European brown bears are one of the largest and most impressive bear species. With powerful paws and claws that can grow up to 10cm long, they are built for life in the wild!

Once roaming freely across Europe, these bears were even found in Scotland until they were hunted to extinction around 1,000 years ago. Today, small populations remain in Spain and Italy, while Romania is home to thousands. Despite their decline, these incredible bears continue to thrive in parts of Europe, reminding us of the importance of conservation!

Meet our European Brown Bears, Brum, Brumma, and Maja. Learn about their history, the challenges brown bears face and how we care for them. Don’t miss this chance to see these incredible animals up close!
