Alpaca

In the petting zoo area of the zoo, a gentle alpaca named Luna is a favorite among visitors, especially children. With her soft, fluffy coat and curious personality, Luna offers a hands-on connection to the animal kingdom.
Alpacas like Luna are domesticated relatives of the wild vicuña and are known for their valuable wool, which is used to make soft and warm textiles.p>
Black Rhinoceros

The Western Black Rhinoceros, once a mighty symbol of Africa’s savannas, now exists only in memories and conservation stories. At the zoo, a rhinoceros named Kibo serves as a poignant reminder of this subspecies' tragic decline. Kibo resides in a spacious enclosure designed to replicate the open grasslands of Africa. Here, he enjoys wallowing in mud pits to cool off and grazing on carefully curated vegetation that mimics his natural diet.
Kibo’s story began as part of a last-ditch effort to save the Western Black Rhinoceros from extinction. His ancestors were among the few individuals relocated to protected environments to escape poaching. Sadly, despite these efforts, the subspecies was declared extinct in the wild in 2011 due to relentless poaching and habitat loss.
Western African Subspecies
The zoo, however, continues to tell Kibo’s story to raise awareness about the plight of rhinos worldwide. Visitors learn about the devastating impact of illegal hunting, driven by the demand for rhino horn, and the critical role that conservation plays in protecting remaining rhino species. Kibo has become a living ambassador, helping to inspire change and educate the public about the importance of wildlife preservation.
Every day, Kibo engages in enrichment activities designed to mimic his natural behaviors. He enjoys pushing heavy logs around his enclosure and discovering hidden treats, such as his favorite fruits and vegetables. These activities not only keep him physically active but also mentally stimulated, ensuring his well-being.

“We visited the zoo last weekend with our kids, and it was absolutely amazing! The variety of animals is incredible, and the enclosures are so well designed to mimic their natural habitats. Our favorite part was watching the polar bear dive and play in the water—it was like he was performing just for us! The staff was super friendly, and the educational talks were both fun and informative. We’ll definitely be back soon!”

“I’ve been to zoos all over the world, but this one stands out for its focus on conservation and animal welfare. The habitats are spacious, clean, and thoughtfully planned. I loved the aviary where the birds fly freely—it felt like stepping into a rainforest! The giant pandas were a highlight, and the kids couldn’t stop talking about the feeding session. Highly recommend for families and animal lovers alike.”

“As a wildlife photographer, I was blown away by how accessible and well-maintained the zoo is. The enclosures are open enough to get fantastic shots while still keeping the animals comfortable and secure. The flamingos and toucans were so vibrant, and the maned wolf was such a unique sight. The zoo’s commitment to creating naturalistic habitats really shows in every corner.”

“I brought my 5-year-old son to the zoo, and he was absolutely thrilled! He loved feeding the alpacas and watching the zebras gallop in their enclosure. The children’s area had so many interactive activities, and the staff was great at making everything kid-friendly. The best part? He’s now obsessed with animals and keeps asking when we’ll go back. Thank you for such a memorable experience!”
