The last thing I expected to find in the Isle of Man is a Wildlife Park.
Curraghs Wildlife Park is not just a place to interact with the animals. They participate in breeding programs, share information worldwide, as well as cooperate on a
global level to manage and breed captive populations of endangered
species.
The animals I saw were not your garden variety zoo kind. They were varied and lived in open spaces on the 26 acre park.
Meet some of the residents.

It was great fun to watch their antics
