Remembering ‘Wilbur’

October 28, 2024 | 1 minute read

It’s with heavy hearts that we say said goodbye to ‘Wilbur,’ our senior wild boar. Our Animal Care, Health & Welfare team made the compassionate decision to euthanize him due to age-related degenerative changes, including progressive stiffness and lameness, that were no longer responding to treatments.

Wilbur was born in 2012 and joined us in 2013, quickly becoming a visitor favorite with his playful mud wallows. He will be missed by his dedicated care team, along with his sounder mates, ‘Fern’ and ‘Poppy’.
