An ambitious project to reintroduce bears and wolves to woodland near Bristol is about to be realised.
For the first time in a millennium, the two species will come nose to nose in Britain. The mammals would have once called the British Isles home, but were slowly driven out as human populations expanded.
The habitat, called Bear Wood, is being set up at Bristol Zoological Society's Wild Place project south of the city.
