The Scandinavian forest at Kolmården safari

The Scandinavian forest at Kolmården safari

      A part of the Scandinavian forest in the safari park. This view is from the rear end of the gondola. After passing through the Scandinavian forest, the cable turns 90 degrees as you can see in the picture. Thereafter a steep climb begins up to the lions. The lion enclosure is on top of a steep hill that the cable car climbs. When cars were allowed to drive through the safari park, the Scandinavian forest was the first enclosure and the lion enclosure the last on the route. The journey through the other three enclosures between them was therefore a slight slope leading up the hill.

      @SivatheriumGuy Eurasian moose, red deer, fallow deer and European bison. However, the bisons are in a smaller separate enclosure inside the big enclosure. Originally, they were in the big enclosure but as they constantly attacked the mooses, a separate enclosure was built for them

      Thanks for answering! I imagined the moose and bison would have conflict, and it's nice to see that moose can coexist with smaller deer.
