Baby boom in the Widllife Park

Wolverine triplets

Valle and Skally, the Wildlife Park's wolverine couple, are delighted to announce the birth of their triplets:  2 females, Greya (2,3 kg) and Grif (1,8 kg) and 1 male, Grimir (2,4 kg). And to add to our delight, the whole family is the picture of health! These births are quite exeptional, because the wolverine is an endangered species. What makes these births even more unique is the fact that  our Park is the only park in Belgium to harbour the species!

As soon as they reach adultdhood, all of the young wolverines born in the Wildlife Park travel to other parks in order to ensure the genetic mixing of this endangered species, in the hope that they will reproduce.

For a long time, the wolverine, nicknamed the “Terror of the Far North”, was persecuted and is currently still hunted by man although it does not constitute a threat.

And the babies keep coming...

A baby bison and a Przewalsk's foal were also born in the Wildlife Park. Both species are threatened with extinction and are part of reintroduction programmes in which the Domain takes an active part.

Since its creation in 1970, one of the many missions of our Wildlife Park is taking part in the preservation and reintroduction of endangered species. This is how bison and Przewalski's horses born in the Wildlife Park have been released back into the wild on lands once roamed by their ancestors. An extraordinary adventure and enviable fate that we hope the two young born in the Wildlife Park will also enjoy once they reach adulthood: a life of freedom in the wild! For the moment, the two little ones are taking their first tentative steps on the Park grasslands under the watchful eye of their mother...
