.A lot of Exciting and New things are Happening at Southwick's Zoo in 2008!
Make sure you plan a trip or two to the zoo this summer to experience it all!

 

It is planned that while the young felines remain in cub stage, they will be placed in a prominent temporary kraal, holding area, to afford visitors maximum up-close viewing.  This, before they approach maturity at which time they will assume residence in the zoo’s rather elaborate natural habitat replication for the tigers.  In this case at Southwick’s these tigers will be offered amenities (the only such digs in New England) which include a fresh water wading pool at the base of a spring-fed towering waterfall, all of which includes an ample clear viewing area for visitors.

The new arrivals are part of a replenishment move brought about by the passing of “Niko”, a standard bengal, and also the more recent passing of “Assam”, a large white tiger, each of which lived a normal lifespan for tigers, and succumbing to old age.

In Loving Memory "Assam"

We have been working on this project for 3 years and we want to thank all of  you who have donated funds and provided support that has helped Southwick's Zoo and EARTH Ltd. build Mowgli a new home.  He was a little unsure about venturing out into the exhibit for the first time.  He kept peeking his head out then going back in.  He did this a few times.  Finally, he started to explore his new home and is now climbing, running, and lying about on trees!  We'd like to thank the Milford National Bank, The Horridge family, and all the MAGIC Mowgli students for all their support and hard work!

We are thrilled with our new additions coming to the zoo! 
Mowgli, the African Leopard will be in his gorgeous, new habitat! 
We hope you join us in welcoming him to his new home where he can climb and play in comfort and style! 
Our biggest addition this season will be opening summer 2008...... a Sky Ride where you will be able to view the zoo from new heights!
We're going to have Bearded Pigs who are native to Borneo (arrival tba).  Their average length is over 5 feet and
have a thick beard along their snout and chin!!  They are going to be a great addition to our zoo!
That's not all...Southwick's Zoo welcomes a pair of Tiger Cubs. 
There will be one standard bengal tiger and one white bengal tiger. 
We hope you visit us often and watch the cubs' growing process! 
Don't forget to plan a visit or two to Southwick's Zoo this season!
