Nikki, this cunning fox, is a true fan of people, but prefers to observe them from above.
During the guided tour, she climbs a log and gets a detailed look at the visitors from 1.5 m high.
A proud fox
Foxes are intelligent animals. You can’t force them to do what you want.
But if you treat them with respect, magical moments can happen.
A curious animal
Foxes are curious animals. Nikki is no exception.
You have to give her time and space and she herself comes over to see what you are doing.
What will your contribution be used for?
Nikki is the representative of all the foxes that come to the Zoo of the Pyrenees. It doesn’t matter if they can go back to nature or if they have to stay with us for life.
Who will you help?
Little orphans that we care for while they need help and are then returned to the wild.
Foxes that cannot return to the wild due to permanent injury or because they are too humanized.
Foxes that have suffered an accident and need veterinary care before returning to the wild.
