1
The Patagonian mara, this “hare” is not a hare but a guinea pig on stilts.
2
The Eastern chimpanzee is a very rare subspecies. The chimpanzees are the only great apes in the park – apart from the visitors and staff.
3
The red ruffed lemur, one of our prosimians, lives here together with oriental small-clawed otter.
4
The black-tailed prairie dogs in this enclosure may look like meerkats, but they are very different. Can you see the differences?
5
Ring tailed lemurs are prosimians and thus one of the many primates in Pakawi Park.
6
Temporarily empty
7
The meerkats you see here may look like prairie dogs, but there are big differences. Can you find them?
8
This island has long been the domain of the tufted capuchin monkeys. Now they live there together with the male group of squirrel monkeys and capybaras. Together they represent a piece of South America.
9
In this aviary, you will find the pied crow. They look a bit like a big crow with a white breast.
10
In this aviary you will find the eclectus parrot. There is a big difference between the males and the females. Can you guess which is which?
11
The white ‘albino’ nose bears are also ‘ringtailed coati’.
12
Northern bald ibis, not the most beautiful birds, but birds that can use our help.
13
This used to be the nursery where young animals that were rejected by their mothers were cared for. Now it is home to hedgehogs and tenrecs.
14
These parrot aviaries house many psittacines such as macaws and cockatoos. Seriemas, western swamphen and kookaburras are also present.
15
Here you will find some tortoises such as the hermann’s tortoise and the Russian tortoise.
16
The Tropical Hall is a piece of the tropics, not of one continent but of several. Tropical rainforest is often associated with Brazil and South America. Guan’s, scarlet ibises and trumpeter birds are also found here. But Africa is also well represented with turacos, glossy starlings, hornbills and twits. Asia is also present with, for example, the emerald dove, Japanese nightingales and Java sparrows. African tortoises, marmosets, treeshrew and genets also have their home here.
17
The Reptile Corridor is an area ‘under’ the tropical hall where you will find bats and a small butterfly museum in addition to various snakes, lizards and crocodiles.
18
The birds of avenue of raptors is home to several eagles, buzzards, caracaras, owls, kites and vultures.
19
The avenue of cranes also represents almost all continents. Just think of the white-necked cranes and Japanese cranes from Asia, the whooping cranes and paradise cranes from Africa and the little sarusian crane from Oceania.
20
The bow aviary is a piece of Africa with Southern horned ravens, sacred ibises and hammerheads.
21
The black & white ruffed lemur is one of our Madagascan prosimians, notable for its black and white fur and loud calls.
22
The caracal is also called the “desert lynx”, although it is not a true lynx. Confusion of species names is very common among animals.
23
The serval with its high legs specialises in catching small mammals in the high grass.
24
The porcupines are sometimes a bit shy because they are nocturnal animals. Be sure to look inside to see if you can find them.
25
You can see the stork from up close here. If you look up, you can also spot some flying loose!
26
The eastern black-and-white colobus are real leaf eaters. This is one of the species that are really sensitive to wrong food. They are a prime example of why visitors should never feed the animals.
27
The clouded leopard is one of our top cats. They are not very big and they are not really panthers, but still they belong to the big cats.
28
The black & white ruffed lemur is one of our Madagascan prosimians, notable for its black and white fur and loud calls.
29
Here you can find the mating group of squirrel monkeys. The group consists of several females with their young and one main male.
30
The cougar is one of the top predators in North, Central and South America. It is a large feline but, strangely enough, does not belong to the ‘big cats’ category.
31
Coming soon – Monkey Island
32
The lar gibbons here live in families. Father and mother with their offspring. Gibbons are seen by some as great apes and by others as ‘ordinary’ monkeys.

34
The large aviary houses not only flamingos, but also some ibises and small herons such as snails, egrets and cattle egrets. You can walk among the free-flying birds.
35
Striped hyenas are strange birds among the feline predators because many would rather classify them as canines. But make no mistake: they are closer to cats.
36
Our bear forest also serves as an emergency shelter for bears. At the moment, one of the three bears from the shelter is still in our park, the other two were already here.
37
Even though it is the ‘red fox’ you don’t see any red foxes here. It is the colour mutations silver and platinum that you can see here.
38
There are supporters and opponents of the wolf, which makes them very topical. Our wolves are a bit separate from this, as they are American Hudson bay wolves and not European grey wolves.
39
The wood bison is a different subspecies from the better known prairie bison, once thought to be extinct in the wild.
40
The emus are the representatives of the ratites. Do not say “ostrich” too quickly to an emu or a nandu as they are completely different species.
41
On the savannah, in addition to elephants and giraffes, you will also find zebras and a few species of antelope.
42
It is nice to be a rabbit.
43
Lions are the big cats par excellence, of course, although their life in groups makes them different from other cats.
44
The jungle cats are wild felines that are closely related to the cats we keep as pets. But they are a lot bigger.
45
The black panther is not a different species from the spotted panther. It is a different colour mutation.
46
The cougar is one of the top predators in North, Central and South America. It is a large feline but, strangely enough, does not belong to the ‘big cats’ category.
47
The fossas are real highflyers in our park. Not only because they have the highest residence, but also because we are members of the official breeding programme here!
48
Casa panthera is the “house of the big cats”, where you will find many panthers (Panthera pardus) but also the white lions (Panthera leo).
49
The otters here are a newly formed couple, mainly to keep each other company.
50
New in 2023!
51
Bearcats are related to the civet cat and are therefore feline predators.
52
The cheetahs were part of the creation of the park, they will always have a special meaning for us. They connect past and future.
53
Tigers are big cats and are therefore the main focus of Pakawi Park; they have an edge, so to speak.
54
The Cave, welcome to the former Reptile House! Here you can still find clawed monkeys, white-lipped bamboo vipers and tarantulas. Many reptiles have since moved to the Reptile Corridor in the Tropical Hall.
55
Here you will find one of our museums on the second floor, namely the bird museum. Ideal for getting to know many bird species.
56
Here you will find one of our museums, the mammal museum, on the second floor.

On our goat pasture you can walk among the goats
