Wildlife Park Leipzig is undergoing renovations on their otter habitats
Leipzig's Wildpark, a beloved destination for families and nature enthusiasts, is currently undergoing a significant transformation. The renovation of the otter enclosure is one of the projects being undertaken, with the aim of creating a more natural and comfortable habitat for the resident otters.
Upon completion, the female otter will return to her newly redesigned enclosure, which will be situated on the main path of the Wildpark, opposite the deer enclosure. The renovated enclosure will feature a cleaned and resealed pond, a redesigned bank, and new resting and lounging areas. Native, site-appropriate plants and sand will also be added to the enclosure.
The exact cost of the renovation has not been disclosed, but it is estimated to be approximately 100,000 euros. The Wildpark has not revealed the species of the otter living in the enclosure or the impact of the renovation on the other animal enclosures or animals.
The female otter, known for being a solitary animal with strongly marked territorial behavior, will temporarily move behind the scenes during the works, which are scheduled to last until mid-September.
It is worth noting that this is not the only renovation project ongoing in the Wildpark. The park, covering approximately 46 hectares and home to around 25 native animal species, is dedicated to the preservation and education of Central European wildlife.
