The night of predators
The night of the predators is a night visit of part of the ZOO of La Bourbansais, with an animal guide who takes you to discover predators: Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Lynx, Cheetahs, Panthers… (species given as an indication)
As night falls these predators become more active; this is the perfect time to discreetly observe them in their world at their peak of activity.
The night of the predators is of course a moment of thrills where you will discover the zoo in a completely new way. It is in particular the opportunity to activate the senses that we use little like hearing or smell, and for example to discover that we can be less than 2 meters from a Tiger without realizing it. account !
But the Night of the Predators is also a moment of privileged exchanges with a caretaker, and of discovery of the biology of the large terrestrial predators.
The health of the animals is our absolute priority
The health of the animals is our absolute priority and in order to respect their peace of mind at night, not to stress them and to preserve their balance, tests have been carried out beforehand so that only the species and individuals who adapt well to our presence participate in this program.
