Welcome to Highland Wildlife Park 🐻❄️ Meet amazing animals 🐾 Protect, value & love nature 💙 Part of wildlife conservation charity @RZSS with @EdinburghZoo
Ever been licked by a cat and thought... 'ouch'? 😼 Now imagine that cat weighs 600 pounds and can lick the meat off your bones 💀 Amur tigers have tongues so rough they come with built-in sandpaper - tiny backward-facing spines called papillae. Feathers, fur, meat? Gone 🥩

With their iridescent plumage, male Himalayan monals are breathtakingly beautiful 🦚 Found across the high-altitude forests and alpine meadows of India, Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet, it plays a vital role in the ecosystem, foraging for roots, insects and seeds in the undergrowth 🪱

New album dropping... got name suggestions? 🎵 We're thinking 'Three Cheers for Sweet Elk' or 'Born to Rut' 🫎

Don't let the unpredictable Scottish weather put you off your next wild day out! ☔ You can prebook your tickets without worrying about the weather with our rainy day guarantee. Find out more 👉🏽 bit.ly/44LldW6

We’re not surprised Chester Zoo’s newest snow leopard cubs are absolutely adorable, just look at how cute dad Yashin was back in 2023! 🐾 Wishing all the best to @chesterzoo and the growing family 💙

Bactrian camels are built for all seasons 🐫 We’re home to two females, Dippy and Dierdre, and these girls are made for extremes! Their thick winter coats help them handle -40c blizzards, and they shed them in summer to stay cool in desert heat up to +40c 🌡️


Guess the animal from the thermal image! 🔍 These heat signatures reveal the different insulation layers our residents use to stay warm (or cool!) all year round 🌡️ Can you tell who’s who? 🐾




Meet our newest arrivals 🍼 We've welcomed lots of tiny hooves in our drive-through reserve! Find out more about these adorable (but very lanky) newbies 🔗 highlandwildlifepark.org.uk/news/summer-ba…
