See our new reindeer this Christmas
Wildwood is delighted to introduce two new reindeer to the park! The festive pair, a mother and daughter from the West Midlands Wildlife Park, are the latest additions to our extensive collection of native and once-native British Wildlife.
Chief executive, Peter Smith said "We are delighted to have reindeer at Wildwood; they are a fine example of a once-native animal that has been lost to the UK. We hope they will both delight our visitors and inspire them to help us in the fight to save our native wildlife."
The mother is a four year old called Holly, whilst her daughter is yet to be named. We will be asking our supporters to choose a suitable name for the youngster in the next few days via our Facebook page.
Visitors can see the reindeer in their enclosure close to the Bat Flight Centre.
Many thanks
