Parc Animalier de Pradinas, Wildlife park in Pradinas, France.
Parc Animalier de Pradinas is a wildlife park covering about 15 hectares with open enclosures for European animal species such as bears, wolves, lynx, foxes, reindeer, and wild boars. The grounds allow visitors to watch these animals in spacious, natural-looking settings.
The park was founded in 1989 when Mayor Roques-Rogéry converted a private fallow deer breeding facility into a public wildlife space. This beginning led to the development of a broader refuge for European animal species.
The park serves as a place where European wildlife lives in open spaces that resemble their natural habitats. Visitors watch animals in their daily routines, from grazing deer to wolves moving through their territories.
The grounds are designed so visitors can watch animals from viewing points along the pathways without entering the enclosures. It is best to wear comfortable shoes, as exploring the entire park happens on foot.
The park is managed by a trainer who has been conditioning animals for film productions since 2010 and works with major cinema releases. This film connection occasionally brings professional training methods into the daily animal presentations visitors observe.
