Spooked animals have suffered injuries at Orana Wildlife Park in Christchurch due to boy racers doing burnouts and skids near the park's boundary.
The police are hunting down people involved - so far sixteen vehicles have been identified, ten of which have already been impounded.
The wildlife at the park have been running into fences and suffering serious abrasions and bruising as they attempt to flee the vehicles.
Orana Wildlife Park's spokesperson Nathan Hawke says the events could have lasting impacts on the animals.
Hawke spoke to Corin Dann.
