One year at Wildwood – We catch up with Bison Fury & Haze!

Fury & Haze have been at Wildwood for a year, and thanks to months of training, they’ve now been vaccinated in a stress-free way, by leaning in for their own injections.

Becky Copland, our Animal Behaviour Management Officer, led the training, moving away from traditional darting, which can be stressful. “With our two new bison, we wanted to give them that extra level of choice,” Becky explains. “They now have control over the movement and procedure, making things much smoother for them.”

The bison duo, who have been at the park for exactly a year, have now both been successfully vaccinated through this method. The pair came straight back into the training session after the procedure, reinforcing that it was not as stressful for them as previous methods.

The plan now is to progress the training a little further and use the method on other animals in the park such as elk and wolves, who may need sedatives or annual vaccinations.
