MERCEDES HAS ARRIVED!

After months of planning, Mercedes the polar bear arrived at the Park on Monday the 19th of October. Our colleagues at Edinburgh Zoo had been training Mercedes to walk into her transport crate for a few months so she walked into it without any apprehension. Her crate was lifted onto a lorry and she travelled up the A9 which took around three hours. When she arrived here, she walked out of her crate and immediately began investigating her indoor dens and the adjacent outdoor holding pen. She has settled in very well to her large outdoor enclosure which, at around four acres, is one of the largest polar bear enclosures in the world.

As well as seeing Mercedes, discover Scottish wildlife and endangered animals of the world's mountains and tundra in the spectacular setting of the Highland Wildlife Park.

Drive around the Main Reserve in your own car and then investigate the walk-round area. We are open daily (except Christmas Day). Our opening times in November and December are 10am - 4pm (last entry 3pm).
