Northumberland County Zoo faced a stressful week and a half after having to close due to the storm

Facing strong winds, power cuts and flooding, the zoo have finally been able to reopen again to the public (15th December).
The family run zoo based at Eshottheugh Farm near Felton fell short when two of its backup generators failed leaving them with no power.
The Met Office reported that Arwen charged speed at 98mph in Brizlee Wood, Northumberland making it one of the most powerful winter storms of the latest decade.
Good news has been reported that all the animals made it through the storm with little detriment.
Maxine Bradley, Zoo Curator, explained they do put plans in place for extreme wind conditions, “but you don’t make them for that extreme.”
“It’s been especially stressful for the keepers who work with these animals every day and build relationships with them. To see them looking so feeble because it’s so cold is horrific.”
The power outage started on Saturday evening after a telegraph pole was reported to have caught fire in the car park.
With reptiles and amphibians needing external heat sources to remain warm, Maxine said “If they don’t have heat they’ll just shut down.”
The need to find new homes for the cold-blood animals until the storm passed proved stressful for the workers.
Northumberland County Zoo also encountered difficulty trying to get in touch with Northern Powergrid with three days passing before power was restored.
The electricity board distributed an apology statement to its customer’s explaining some parts of their network was also affected.
Artic Foxes Hamish and Dougal sadly had their home wiped out by a tree and will therefore need an indoor home in the future for safety measures.
The storm additionally damaged the entrance, soft play and café were all flood creating an unfortunate expense.
The reopening of the zoo should see faces walking through the door in the run up to Christmas for a family day out. The park currently has 17 acres for visitors to explore with over 100 species of animals to see.

The wildlife park opens at 9:30am every day.
