Exploration Asia Redevelopment Project: Introducing Imagine Asia
Welcome to Imagine Asia — a reimagining of the former Exploration Asia zone at the Wilder Institute’s Calgary Zoo. Here, you’ll find Bactrian camels, Komodo dragons, white-handed gibbons, Malayan tapirs, red-crowned cranes, Turkmenian markhor, Amur tigers, a golden eagle, Dalmatian pelicans, and Pallas’s cats. The first chapter of this zone’s redevelopment is Asian Highlands, an ecological journey through the Himalayas where you’ll discover snow leopards, Sichuan takin, and red pandas. Step into wonder and see it for yourself on your next visit.
