There’s a new habitat open in Dublin Zoo that’s dedicated to wolves

Wolves in the Woods.

It sounds like a rave. Instead, Wolves in the Woods will be a new habitat in Dublin Zoo dedicated to… you guessed it, wolves.

A pack of seven grey wolves will make its way to a more than 4000 m2 space in the zoo which will include water feature, a dedicated feeding area and three visitor observation shelters where visitors will be able to take a peek inside the enclosure.

Speaking about the new habitat, Leo Oosterweghel, Director of Dublin Zoo, said: “The opening of Wolves in the Woods is yet another milestone on our journey of redeveloping Dublin Zoo into a world class zoo and provide an excellent visitor experience.

“Every detail of the habitat has been considered carefully with the wellness of the wolf pack in mind and the design was inspired by their natural habitat.”
