Nevertheless, they eventually experienced a decline in function due to aging and was not reversible.
Park employees and guests who have encountered these animal representatives will feel their absence deeply.
The spokesperson mentioned that the Arctic Fox Den is currently not open to visitors.
The den was included in the “Polar Adventure” area, which was launched in the 2010s as the park broadened its collection of animals from cold regions.
At a certain time, the park was home to a bigger family unit.
In 2014, a female arctic fox called Mochi, one of two individuals seized by local officials, had six puppies. These were the first arctic foxes to be born in Hong Kong.
The area was a component of a larger initiative to display polar animals together with penguins, seals, and walruses in a cool environment meant to replicate Arctic settings and inform guests about environmental protection.
