The main focus of Krefeld Zoo is the keeping of great apes, big cats, African savannah inhabitants and tropical bird species. For subtropical and tropical species the zoo has three warm houses at its disposal, the Monkey Tropic House (since 1975) with gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans, the Bird Tropics Hall (since 1989) and the 1100 m2 Rainforest House (since 1998). Accordingly, another focus of the zoo is the South American animal world, but also the local plant world. The Rainforest House is a South American rainforest with over 400 different plant species. There live Two-toed sloths, white-faced sakis, Leaf-nosed bats, basilisks, iguanas and numerous tropical butterfly species, many of which are now kept in their own butterfly house.
