COTSWOLD Wildlife Park has been forced to close for a third day due to the cold weather.

The park, which is home to several different animals, is closed today (Wednesday, December 14) due to the icy conditions.

It announced on Monday this week (December 12) that it would be closed for two days but the weather has not improved enough to allow it the open this morning.

Chris Kibbey, assistant animal manager at the park, said: “Although we are currently closed, keepers are still working daily to ensure all the animals are well cared for.

"The snow has been welcomed by a few of the species, including the Red Pandas, Camels and Wolverine who would normally come from colder climates.”
