Parc Zoologique de Paris

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:58:56

Reopened in 2014 after nearly a decade of renovations, Paris' largest, now state-of-the-art zoo focusses on the conservation of species and habitats, with camouflaged vantage points (no peering through fences). Its biozones include Patagonia, with sea lions to cougars; the savannah of Sahel-Sudan, with lions, white rhinos and giraffes; forested Europe, with wolves, lynx and wolverines; a Guiana rainforest with jaguars, monkeys and anacondas; and Madagascar, home to lemurs. Other highlights include Australian marsupials and manatees (sea cows).
