Come face to face with all kinds of animals from all over the world at the Paris Zoological Park.

As you travel through the park, move from Europe to Madagascar, from Africa to Patagonia and the Amazon. In the African zone, expect sightings of lions, giraffes, and zebras. Europe has wolves, lynxes, and otters. The Amazon zone has jaguars, monkeys, and macaws, while Patagonia has penguins, pumas, and pudus.
