TAYTO PARK WELCOMES NEW ANIMAL ARRIVALS

Summer is here and it’s not just the flowers that are blooming! Tayto Park has recently welcomed the arrival of not one but two new sets of newborns to the Tayto Park family. 3 Eurasian Lynx kittens, born mid-May and 7 Corsac Fox cubs are happily getting used to their new home which also houses a large variety of rare and endangered species for Tayto Park visitors to see. Meerkat pups are due to be born soon and will be adding to the large Meerkat family, one of the most popular animal attractions at Tayto Park, who are now housed in a new glass enclosure.

The Corsc Foxes (native throughout central Asia) arrived to Tayto Park in 2011 and this is the first time they have been bred since their arrival. With the addition of 7 cubs, the Corsac Fox troop now numbers 10.

The Eurasian Lynx parents (native Western Europe and throughout central Asia) came to their new home in Tayto Park last summer and 3 kittens were born to this breeding pair on the 13th May. According to Head Keeper at Tayto Park, Lee Donoghue, the first time mum is doing a great job and settling in well to her new role. These are the only Eurasian Lynx in Ireland.

Ray Coyle, founder of Tayto Park said “We are thrilled to welcome our newest additions to Tayto Park. We pride ourselves in our ongoing conservation efforts and these new arrivals are a testament to the efforts of head keeper Lee Donoghue and his team. Everyone who comes to Tayto Park this summer will have even more to see and do as we have added new attractions to the park”.
