Didn't expect that! The much smaller Antelope chases the Bison around the enclosure.
Didn't expect the antelope to attack and didn't expect the speed that the bison reached.

The heron was on full alert, hoping that the pelican would drop a fish!

Full Irish for this bunch of giraffes.

The crows here must be the best fed in Ireland. Look at the shine on this one.

From 13th March to 8th June, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the Panoramic Wheel, offering a never-before-seen aerial view of the park and its stunning surroundings. Based inside Fota Wildlife Park, this will be an optional, paid-for experience, with tickets for the Panoramic Wheel available at a separate ticketing booth from €5 per individual.

The Giraffe is no longer the tallest attraction at Fota.
