The South Lakes Wild Animal park is a conservation zoo located
in Dalton in Furness which is easily reached from the Lake
District area. There are many endangered species kept here
including sumatran and amur tigers, rhino, asiatic lions,
spectacled bears and siamangs. There is an open area where
emus, kangaroos, wallabys and lemurs roam free. One thing
not to be missed at the park is the novel ways they have of
feeding the animals particularly the tigers. Meat for the
tigers is placed on the top of 20-30ft wooden poles and the
tiger has to hunt for it. It is absolutely amazing to see
these magnificent animals leap effortlessly to the top of
the pole for their prizes.
