We take care of both young and injured or sick adult animals. We do not distinguish between species, every life is valuable and we treat all animals equally. We care for animals that cannot return to the wild for life in our shelter.
Animals we rescue at the Zoo of the Pyrenees:
Mammals
Fox
Vulpes vulpes
Common genet
Genetta genetta
Beech marten
Martes foina
Roe deer
Capreolus capreolus
Please DO NOT TOUCH the fawns you find in the woods and/or fields. Even if they look weak and thin or neglected to you, they are not. Their mother is nearby and takes care of them.
If you touch them you condemn them to starve to death. Their mother won’t accept them if they smell like your hands. If you touch them and take them home, you are doing an act of raw cruelty! You are separating the fawns from their mothers.
European badger
Meles meles
European rabbit
Oryctolagus cuniculus
Red deer
Cervus elaphus
Mouflon
Ovis gmelini
European fallow deer
Dama dama
Wild boar
Sus scrofa
It is not our intention to encourage people to take baby wild boars from the wild and keep them as pets, and once they get tired of them bring them to us.
We only take wild boar calves and only in cases of a real rescue. Not in cases where a person has separated the calves from their mothers.
Birds
Magpie
Pica pica
Jay
Garrulus glandarius
Common raven
Corvus corax
Common blackbird
Turdus merula
Red-legged partridge
Alectoris rufa
