    The new zoo/aquarium opened yesterday. The 100-hectare site contains two different aquariums. The first is a freshwater aquarium that includes Siamese tiger perch, giant pangasius, Mekong giant catfish, giant freshwater stingray, Mekong featherback and marbled whipray.
    The second aquarium is a marine one, featuring species from the Gulf of Thailand including the whitetip reef shark, bull shark and spotted eagle ray.

    The zoo includes tigers, bears, crocodiles and other animals, as well as a floating house and a butterfly garden. If the article posted above is any indication, the bears are sun bears and the tigers are Sumatran tigers.
