Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Lion Country was opened in May 2010 to house 13 African lions, which were acquired from Oradea Zoological Garden in Romania in February 2010. The lions had been kept in small enclosures and poor living conditions, and were in poor health as the Romanian zoo could not adequately care for them. Ten years on there are six lions in Lion Country: Simba, Maria, Carla, Crystal, Julie and Ares.[12]

Lemur Woods is a walk-through enclosure with many trees, housing groups of ring-tailed and red-bellied lemurs. The lemurs can often be seen climbing high in the trees, or sunbathing on the ground. Twice a day, visitors can stand and watch the keepers feed the Lemurs. They get very close - within touching distance - and it's one of the popular areas of the park.

African Plains is a large, savannah-like paddock displaying different African animals such as,ostriches, a mixture of Rothschild's Giraffe and Reticulated Giraffe, lechwe, and common eland. In the enclosure, they also have endangered Grevys Zebras which they are doing a lot of conservation with, as they are very rare. They also have a large, grassy paddock for critically endangered black rhinoceros, that have a large house at the back of the paddock as well as several mud wallows and piles of browse in the paddock, which has been made to look like the African savannah.[13]

Land of the Tigers houses four Amur tigers: three adults, named Sayan, Vladimir, and Tschuna; and one cub, called Hope. Hope had two brothers, but they were sent off to other zoos so they can have cubs of their own. The enclosure features two pools and a waterfall, as well as a 150-metre walkway for visitors. The tigers can often be seen playing together or even climbing trees, which they seem to enjoy a lot.

Opened in August 2014, Project Polar houses four male polar bears named Victor, Pixel, Nissan and Nobby. These are the only polar bears in an English zoo. The largest enclosure is ten acres in size and features two pools, the largest of which is eight metres deep and contains 25.5 million gallons of water. This is one of the largest polar bear enclosures in the world.

South America Viva is a walk-through enclosure displaying several South American species, including Patagonian mara, white-faced saki monkey, Azara's agouti and capybara. There are also separate enclosures housing six-banded armadillo, Venezuelan red howler, giant anteaters, cotton-top tamarins and giant otters, which are situated near a South America-themed restaurant called "iCaramba!".

Yorkshire Wildlife Park - Baboon Reserve

Opened in Easter 2013, the Baboon Reserve houses a troop of Guinea baboons which came from Edinburgh Zoo.

Leopard Heights houses four Amur leopards: two adults, named Drake and Freya; and their two cubs born in June 2015. The enclosure is 6000 square metres in size, features climbing frames up to ten metres tall, and cost £300,000 to build.[14]

Other notable animals in the park's collection include Bennett's wallabies, African wild dogs, visayan warty pigs, Bactrian camels, addax, meerkats, yellow mongooses, okapi, roloway monkey, leopard tortoise, kirk's dik-dik, Geladas and the new Spotted Hyena.
