Cannot be done without level 1 being done first. Level 2 introduces the carnivores including the wolves and wildcats. Here, the person shadowing will get a chance to interact with a lynx, several cat or wolf. The primates are also introduced at this level and this includes a monkey or bush-baby plus others. Level 2 includes other interactive animal training as well.

​We ideally like to encourage both days as a package as it really takes a full 2 days to experience/shadow all aspects of the zoo!
