Orana Wildlife Park

catherines21 said... The staff were great, super helpful and lovely. However parts of the park did not sit well with me. The tiger was in a small enclosure and was just pacing. No enrichment to be seen - now I'm not sure if this is a holding area, but either way it was very sad to see. The otters were jumping and clawing at the glass like they wanted out and also didn't seem super happy. It seemed a bit of a trend throughout the park. We did see keepers putting food out for the Gorillas and Siamangs, in a way to keep them entertained. So I'm not saying it's all bad. It was just pretty heartbreaking to see the tiger like that.

Both good and bad
