PETRONAS Gateway to Asia Malayan Tapir Viewing: ‘Sempurna’ and her calf have daily access to the main indoor habitat from 10:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. They’ll also have access to their behind-the-scenes space and may choose to spend time there, especially when the calf is nursing, so viewing isn’t always guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.
Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.
Bite-Sized
It’s time to make some introductions – our three spur-winged lapwing chicks officially have names!
Voted on by our members, we’re thrilled to introduce you to ‘Chari’ (pronounced SHAH-ree), named after the Chari River in Africa; ‘Churchura’ (pronounced choor-CHUR-uh), named after Chebera Churchura National Park in Ethiopia, and ‘Hula’ (pronounced HOO-luh) after the Hula Valley in Israel, an important habitat for spur-winged lapwings and other bird species.
While these three are still behind-the-scenes, join us in welcoming them in the comments!
