KNOWSLEY Safari’s wild trail is launching this Easter with two new fa-moose famous – Froja and Bruce.

Froja arrived at the park in 2014 from the Highland Wildlife Park and was introduced to the habitat early to help her settle in and get used to her new surroundings.

Now she has company with the introduction of a handsome male from Whipsnade Zoo.

Although Bruce is still growing, a fully grown bull European moose can reach a shoulder height of more than 2m.

European Moose are the second largest land animal in Eirope.

‘Fa-moose’ for their charismatic faces, visitors will be in for a treat when watching the moose feeding at the edge of the woods.

With the launch of the new area, educational tours around the trail will be available for visitors to learn more about the European moose and their surroundings.

Eveline de Wolf, head of animal management at Knowsley Safari, saids: “Closely related to the American moose, its European cousin used to roam the Scottish highlands before it became extinct on the British Isles due to the warmer climate. They currently only occur in the woodlands throughout Scandinavia up to Siberia.

“Our new residents are a part of the Wild Trail area of the park, which has been designed to take our visitors back to basics with nature. There is a great deal to learn about the environment here, specifically, the typical european woodland and the species that inhabit it.”

This Easter visitors are encouraged to arrive early to beat the crowds and take advantage of the new addition to the walk around area of the park where they can learn all about identifying native birds, trees and bugs, and of course - meet Froja and Bruce!
