Dawson and Knute, the Grizzly Bears

Born in early 2011, this duo became permanent residents of the Park in the same year.  

In this animal story, Zookeeper Dannielle shares the sibling's story on how and why they were brought to the BC Wildlife Park, and the integral role that humans play in keeping wildlife wild. 

 


Clover the Kermode Bear

Meet Clover, the only kermode bear in human care in the world. 

Clover was born in 2011, and has been a resident at the BC Wildlife Park since October 2012.

In this animal story, Zookeeper Dannielle shares details of Clover's unique story on how he came to live at the Park, and why enrichment and positive reinforcement training is an important part of his care.

 

Robert the Bobcat

Meet Robert,  the BC Wildlife Park's resident bobcat.

Born in 2012, and after being a patient at the Fawett Family Wildlife Health Centre, Robert became a resident of the Park the same year. 

In this animal story, Zookeeper Ardice explains why Robert couldn't be released back into the wild, the purpose of positive reinforcement training, and how Robert receives enrichment. 

 

 
Chester and Beatrice, the Raccoons

Meet Chester and Beatrice, the BC Wildlife Park's resident orphaned raccoons.

Learn why this pair was unable to be released into the wild, and the importance of enrichment and positive reinforcement training while in our care.

Raccoons are being found with increased regularity in the Thompson Okanagan region and are opportunistic omnivores. It is important to keep attractants such as garbage cans, unharvested fruits and vegetables, and chicken coops cleaned and contained, to help keep these clever wild animals, wild. 

 

Q-Tip, Robson, and Elbert the Bighorn Sheep

Meet the BC Wildlife Park's bighorn sheep: Q-tip, Robson, and Elbert.

In this animal story, Zookeeper Cecily talks about the history that bighorn sheep have had reaching near extinction,  along with why and how training is a main component of their care.

 

Birds of Prey

At the BC Wildlife Park, we currently have 11 individual birds of prey, representing 6 different species.

The majority of the birds of prey sustained permanent injuries that prevented them from being released back into the wild.

Zookeepers Amy and Larissa discuss what the birds of prey eat, the most common injuries that they encounter, and the direct impact that human actions can have on the birds of prey.
