    By the way, I'd recommend introducing yourself on New Member Introductions. Lastly, do you speak Portuguese? If so, we have a Whatsapp group with most Brazilian ZooChatters on it. So, if you want to join it, give me a call.

    Interesting. I guess you must be right then. The collection of the Animalia is going to be way larger than that, I suspect. Specially considering all the species already confirmed.

    All these animals were already there since at least last November, and afaik, the maned wolves were already on their definitive exhibit since at least July of 2021.

    I don't have pictures but take a look at this last video of the Itechdrones, if you pay close attention you can see them in the video.the gemsbok is close to the wildebeest, while the aoudads are close to the zebras and the nile lechwe (I even think they came from the beto carrero). the hyena enclosure seems to be still under construction, but you can see one running in part of the video.

    Also, it was announced that the park will be divided in three sections: forest, reserve and fun.
    The forest part will be an aviary with 654 bird species of 112 different species, where you will be able to walk in a big path and you will see other animals like lowland tapirs, brocket deer and spider monkeys.
    The reserve part will be the part of the zoo and it will have the representation of the 4 continents(which includes africa, asia, american and oceanian) and seeks to bring the most modern in terms of animal conservation in the world.
    The fun part will be the part of the amusement park where there will be many toys and attractions to people enjoy it and have great memories to their lives.

    First thing I have to say: 180 reais is an astronomically high price. Second: You mean 654 individuals of 112 different species of birds, am I correct?

    what's up guys, i've got some awesome news, the animalia park officialy inaugurated its official site, now we can acess all informations about the park, including prices and attractions. I have to say that i'm impressed about the map, and i can't believe the park is the first brazilian zoo to have striped hyenas, it's also confirmed that mandrills will be added to the park as well, i'm looking forward to see more animals being added to the collection like elephants, pelicans, crocodiles, cheetahs,chimps, orangutans, gibbons and more.

    Hey Matrin71, sorry to ask, but where are all these animals, like the lemurs or koalas?
    I would like to know where did you get all this information, thank you very much.
