Jersey Zoo has opened an art trail to celebrate the recent arrival of black bears, featuring a series of installations that highlight the planet’s fauna from the largest inhabitants to the smallest.
The zoo’s spokesperson said the new trail is designed to showcase a range of animal species, with the black bear serving as a central attraction. The trail’s theme, according to the zoo, is to “celebrate the world’s largest inhabitants to its smallest.”
“We want visitors to experience the diversity of life on Earth, from the biggest mammals to the tiniest creatures, all in one creative walk,” the spokesperson added.
Black bears, native to North America, are a notable addition to Jersey Zoo’s collection, which focuses on conservation and education. Their presence expands the zoo’s representation of large mammals and offers new opportunities for public learning.
The art trail is open to all visitors during regular zoo hours, inviting guests to follow the route and engage with the artworks while learning about biodiversity and the zoo’s ongoing conservation efforts.
