11:30am – Wildcat Wood
Scotland’s wildcats are on the brink of extinction after hundreds of years of persecution and habitat loss, followed by breeding with domestic cats (known as hybridisation). Now critically endangered in Britain, there are barely a handful left and scientific research has confirmed the species will not survive without help. Learn more about these highland tigers and discover great grey owl and Himalayan monal that share a home with them in Wildcat Wood!

1pm – Polar bears: Victoria and Brodie
How a polar bear grows up with its mother, what they eat in the wild and at the park, and the adaptations they have developed to survive in a frozen and watery landscape.
2:30pm – Snow leopard
Snow leopards are a charismatic ambassador for the Himalayan ecosystem, by protecting the “ghosts of the mountain” we can protect all sorts of species including Pallas’s cat through the PICA project.
