Black foxes

Silver-black foxes with their own big enclosure. The 4 o'clock feed is the talk people plan their day around.

Our black foxes are the animals most people come to see, and the ones we get asked about most. They are the same species as the red fox you might see on Berrow beach at dusk, just with a rare dark coat, and that coat is part of why some of them ended up needing a home.

Luna came to us in March 2021 after she was found in Wales with her leg caught in an illegal snare, most likely set to catch her for her fur. She lost the leg. Our keepers spent months on her recovery before she was released into the big fox enclosure to meet the others. The story made BBC News at the time.

Fox feeding talks run twice a day. The keeper explains what they eat, why they are black, and how a fox with three legs gets about perfectly well. Please do not feed the foxes yourself.
