Primates, including monkeys and apes, are some of the most intelligent and social animals in the zoo. They live in complex social groups, communicate with a variety of vocalizations, and even use tools. Watching primates is always a fascinating experience, as their behavior often reflects the same curiosity and playfulness that we see in ourselves.
About UsBig cats like lions, tigers, and leopards are among the most powerful and charismatic predators on the planet. At our zoo, these animals command attention with their grace, strength, and fierce beauty. Visitors can learn about their hunting tactics, social structures, and the conservation challenges they face in the wild, where many of them are endangered.
The Arctic region is one of the most extreme environments on Earth, yet it is home to some of the most well-adapted animals.
Some of the largest animals on the planet can be found in our zoo. From the towering giraffes and elephants to the mighty rhinos and hippos, these giants are awe-inspiring.

oos play a significant role in wildlife conservation through breeding programs for endangered species, known as Species Survival Plans (SSPs). These programs help maintain genetically diverse populations of animals that are at risk of extinction. Zoos also participate in habitat restoration projects and educate the public about the importance of biodiversity, encouraging conservation efforts. Many zoos collaborate with international organizations to protect species and their habitats in the wild.
redators are essential for maintaining the balance of ecosystems by regulating prey populations. Without predators, prey species can overpopulate, leading to overgrazing or overconsumption of resources, which can damage the environment. Predators also help control the spread of disease by hunting weaker, sick animals, ensuring that prey populations remain healthy. This natural balance supports biodiversity and helps sustain healthy ecosystems.
Animals have developed remarkable adaptations to survive in extreme environments. In deserts, species like camels store fat in their humps for hydration, while fennec foxes have large ears that help dissipate heat. In cold regions like the Arctic, polar bears and arctic foxes have thick fur and layers of blubber to insulate against freezing temperatures. In mountainous regions, animals like snow leopards and mountain goats have strong limbs and specialized hooves to navigate steep, rocky terrain.
Pollination is crucial for the reproduction of flowering plants, including many crops that humans rely on for food. Insects like bees, butterflies, and beetles are key pollinators, transferring pollen between flowers, allowing plants to produce fruits and seeds. Without pollinators, ecosystems would suffer, and food production would decline. Unfortunately, pollinators are facing threats from habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change, making their conservation critical for both biodiversity and agriculture.
The rainforest is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. It is home to countless species of animals, many of which are still being discovered today.
Herbivores, from tiny antelope to massive elephants, play a crucial role in their ecosystems by feeding on plants and grasses.
Not all birds are meant to fly. Some, like ostriches and emus, have evolved to run at incredible speeds or swim instead.
