Animal Areas

The Park is divided into four sections each with its own team of keepers to care for the animals in those areas.

The Birds Section is responsible for the care of all of our feathered friends, including Penguins, a stunning group of Chilean Flamingos, our collection of Owl aviaries and a wide variety of unusual birds within the Walled Garden.

The Primates and Small Mammals team look after all of our different primate species including the Siamangs and Lar Gibbons, our rare Purple-faced Langurs, the Squirrel Monkeys and many other smaller primates. They also take care of a large selection of small mammals at the Park such as the Meerkats, Prarie Dogs, Short-clawed orienntal Otters and much more.

Our Large Mammals and Farmyard Section take care of our big cats, Rhino, Camels and Zebra, in addition to the variety of animals to be found in our walk-through section such as the Canadian Timber Wolves, White-lipped Peccaries, Brazilian Tapirs and Parma Wallabies. They also look after all of the animals in our Children's Farmyard.

Lastly the Herpetology Section includes the Reptile and Insect Houses (Insect House currently closed for refurbishment, the leaf-cutting ants can be seen in the Reptile House) where you can see a variety of species including Morelet’s Crocodile, large Reticulated Pythons, Leaf-cutter Ants and Tarantulas.
