In 2019, Parc Animalier de Sainte-Croix expanded its exhibits by opening the 'Nouveau Monde' area, an 8.5-hectare zone dedicated to North American wildlife. This section includes species such as black bears, American bison, coyotes, and North American raccoons. Visitors can explore this area via a one-kilometer trail that offers immersive experiences with these animals.
The raccoons are housed in enclosures designed to mimic their natural habitats, providing them with ample space and environmental enrichment. While specific details about individual raccoons or breeding programs are not publicly available, the park's commitment to conservation and education is evident throughout its exhibits.
Parc Animalier de Sainte-Croix is a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA), indicating its dedication to maintaining high standards in animal care and conservation efforts.
