After paying the entrance fee we se a lake in front of us with water fowl and flamingos. Behind it is the zoofarm that includes a petting area with goats. Th the right we then find Amazone house, home to fish and reptiles from South America. In front of it are the roe deers. Then following some aviaries to the left we soon se the enclosures for larger cats, like the jaguar, lions and Sumatran tigers. Then following the enclosure for the black buck, we se on the right hand the lesser panda. Turning right at the enclosure for kangaroos and then turning right once more to see some deer as well as the gaur. Then we find the island for fibbons and oposite the giraffes. Next are the african wild dog as well as the serval, and then we look at the African savannah home to zebras and antelopes. Let us now look at the alpaca and the Southern white rhino. Now we have reched the Tamandua house home to two species of anteaters as well as other pilosa species. Passing the South American pampa with South American tapirs, we turn right at the Guanaco enclosure. Following are some aviaries for small felines as well as the leoprd. Then its time to look at the funny giant otters before we go on to the sea lions. Then we look at the spectacled bears. Opposite we find some aviaries dfor owls ons is also the home the the badger. Keeping to the right we see the biturong and the porcupine, befor we look at Rumah hutan, the home for orangutans and malayan tapirs.
