Sanctuary Valley

A sanctuary is a place where rescued animals live out their whole lives. Tap an animal to say hello.

Hello! I'm Daisy. I have a best friend called Nell, and my heart beats slower when she's near me.

Cows are curious, social animals. They make close friendships, learn quickly, and can recognise dozens of other cows and the people who care for them.

Sanctuary, shelter, zoo or farm?

Sanctuary: rescued animals stay for life and are never sold or bred.

Shelter: animals stay a while, then hopefully move to a new home.

Zoo: animals are kept for people to see; good ones also do conservation and research.

Wildlife hospital: wild animals are treated and then released.

Farm: animals are raised to produce food.

A note about our characters

Daisy, Milo and friends are made up — animals don't speak English. But everything they tell you about how they live, feel and communicate comes from real scientific research.
