    WOLF WOOD

    Welcome to the territory of our grey wolf pack. You’ll probably notice that despite their name, our wolves are actually white. That’s because – quite confusingly – grey wolves can have a variety of different coloured coats: grey, black, brown, red and white. Wolves are usually most active during the night or early morning, so during the day they can often be found curled up under trees. Even though you can’t see our wolves at night, you may be able to hear them: their howling can be heard up to six miles away. But while this might give you goose bumps in bed, there’s no need to panic. Despite what the fairy tales say, humans aren’t the wolves’ ideal dinner! But they can take down prey that's up to 10 times their size because of their pack hunting techniques.

    LION COUNTRY

    You can hear a lion’s roar as far as five miles away. So just imagine how it sounds at five metres. These majestic beasts were the first to arrive here when we opened in 1966 and are still the star attraction today. There are two prides of African lions prowling our estate. And because they are highly territorial, they live in two separate areas. These big cats like nothing better than an afternoon snooze. But if you’re lucky, you might see them striding majestically through their territory – or even using the Wiltshire trees as a scratching post to sharpen those awesome claws

    CHEETAH KINGDOM

    Cheetahs are well known for their impressive speed. But our group is also partial to a cat nap. So if they’re not dashing about, you might spot them lounging in the long grass. Unlike other cats, cheetahs are more active in the day than at night as this reduces their competition with other predators. If you’re lucky enough to see our cheetahs running about their enclosure, you can see what makes them such good sprinters. Look for their lean muscles, slender legs and athletic, flexible spine. They've even got wide nostrils to help them breathe in lots of oxygen while running. And under their beautiful spotted coats they have large lungs and big hearts, helping them accelerate to 60mph in less than 3 seconds. That’s quicker than most cars!

    TIGER TERRITORY

    Our female Amur tigers are among the most beautiful and impressive animals on the estate. They don’t roar like their lion neighbours. Instead, they chuff and even purr like a pet cat. But don’t be fooled. These fearsome predators aren’t nearly as cuddly as they look. They can grow to up to 3.5m in length, weigh 300kg and reach speeds of 35mph. Their sharp canines and claws aren’t to be taken lightly either. You might spot them stalking each other around the enclosure. But you’re most likely to see them relaxing by their very own pool – after all, they are the only cat that actually likes water

    ANNE'''''''' HEVEN - ELEPHANT

    Anne came to Longleat as a rescue elephant, having spent her entire life in a circus. This makes her very special with a unique set of needs. In spring 2015 we moved Anne to a luxurious new 994m² purpose-built home that provides her with 24 hour access to her outside space. It has lovely deep sand floors, sky light panels and an automated feeding system

    MONKEY DRIVE THRU

    Like most monkeys, our troupe of rhesus macaques are highly intelligent, highly inquisitive and highly mischievous. Just like us humans, they have opposable thumbs. Which goes some way to explaining why they are always on the look out for loose fitting car parts, and why they’re so good at collecting them! A trip through Monkey Drive-Through is not for the faint of heart or new of car! In the wild, these Asian monkeys have proven very adaptable. So whether they’re in mountainous forests, busy cities or even here in the Wiltshire countryside, they always find a way of fitting in.

    RHINO

    Longleat is playing a vital role in a last ditch international race to save the world’s rarest rhino from extinction.The northern white rhino (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), whose wild population was estimated in the thousands as recently as 1960, was virtually wiped out in the 2000s due to poaching. Today only three individuals are left; an elderly male and two females. All three are kept under strict armed security at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.

    DEER PARK

    This large enclosure is home to two different types of deer, one of which is a native British species so feel right at home at Longleat. The red deer is Britain’s largest land mammal. They take their name from a rusty red coat which turns brown in winter. The other species is the Pere David’s deer. These are native to China but are actually extinct in the wild. However, all hope is not lost. They breed successfully and repopulation programmes seem promising.

    The common warthog is a wild member of the pig family found in grassland, savanna, and woodland in sub-Saharan Africa. In the past, it was commonly treated as a subspecies of P. aethiopicus, but today that scientific name is restricted to the desert warthog of northern Kenya, Somalia, and eastern Ethiopia.
