Wild Asia--Taronga Conservation Society-- Australia

Wild Asia is a display of Asian rainforest animal species which comprises 10 animal exhibit areas, 7 animal holding facilities, and 15 public visitor facilities. The precinct simulates an Asian rainforest setting, featuring both plants and animals typical of the region. Wild Asia is home to more than 24,000 plants, Malayan tapir, small-clawed otter, binturong, chital, silvery gibbon, Francois langur, fishing cat, 45 bird species in two aviaries and elephants.


One of the two tapir exhibits provides above ground viewing, the other one below water viewing. They are interconnected with each other and with the Binturong exhibit for mixed species display. The adjacent otter exhibit also has tunnel connection to one of the tapir exhibits for this purpose. All these exhibits are serviced by a central holding building that allows connections between holding areas as well. It is a multi-purpose holding area for various species.
