There are some night attractions such as the presentation of the bird of prey, so that visitors learn about the characteristics of this animal and a little environmental education. Along the route in the park, it is possible for visitors to see the animals up close such as giant anteaters, jaguars, lions, tigers, wolves, white tigers and hippopotamuses being fed by the monitors. The “Animal Behavioral Enrichment Program” applied by the zoo encourages animals in captivity to develop natural behaviors, thus better exploring their enclosures, which makes the tour even more interesting.
