Wild Wild Whipsnade

WolverineThey roamed these streets before you. Hunted near your supermarkets. And even grazed in your back garden! The wild beasts that once called England home are returning to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in our latest attraction, Wild Wild Whipsnade.

Meet the bears, European bison, wolves, lynx, wild boar and moose that were once native to our country, along with the mystical wolverine. These are the animals that our ancestors would have hunted – and sometimes were hunted by!
