    I watched the Facebook live. Couple of interesting things to note, Dennis is the right weight to be introduced to the females but they have decided to wait to introduce him to them next year. Burke was mixed with the females for a couple of weeks but now he is back in his own enclosure. (I got the impression that it did go fairly well).
    The main European wolf pack has 10 individuals, with a sub-pack of 4 (not sure if they were all rejected from the main pack but I definitely know one was) and there is still 2 Canadian timber wolves off show.

    A sad day Jedd. My last memory of him was from last year when we were on a visit and he was enjoying an ice cream amongst the crowds in the main area of the park. He had lots of admirers chatting to him.

    Found it hard to understand from the website but is the whole of the park including Animal Adventure open to the public? The website says about 'walkthrough animal areas' opening but can't find any other information. Thanks!

    I think it is Safari only for general public until 27th June when the majority of the areas on foot open. 25th and 26th, walk about areas are open for annual pass holders only. As an annual pass holder I'm going on the 25th :)
