These Arctic foxes will join Hope, Nanook and Noori, the three polar bears that arrived at the park over the summer and James said they have settled in well to their new habitat. Arctic foxes are renowned for their resilience in the face of challenging conditions in the far north.

Storm, Rosie and Dena relocated from Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland and James hopes their presence in the 53 Degrees North Polar Habitat offers visitors an opportunity to

observe their behaviour and learn about their natural adaptations.
