    Fair enough. Just think there are better exhibits out there. Surprising that the wolf exhibit wasn't under water when there was flooding elsewhere, as the wolves usually turn into a stinking mess. There isn't any elevation for the water to drain off. Actually the same could be said for the whole park as the water level always seems close to the surface. Possibly some local springs, but don't quote me on that.

    Yes I did vote for Wildwood, good guess! I'm purely voting on exhibits I've seen, which rules out Highland and the new WP exhibit. Whilst Longleat is vast, it's a drive-thru, and I don't class that as a fair comparison and there's always a danger of an accident between car and wolf. And agree with your assessment of Wildwood :)

    Congratulations again to Highland Wildlife Park! Though I'm a bit sad that Blackpool didn't get any votes for its wolf exhibit, although I can accept its not the best, I really like it a lot.

    I must agree there actually, I do like the wold exhibit at Blackpool... it often gets overlooked. I do wonder how they deal with the viewing guests constantly looking down on them, but if not considering that, the views are fantastic compared to most wolf exhibits.
