AVILON ZOO




        Avilon Zoo is currently the Philippines' largest zoological institution in terms of geographical size and animal collection. More than 3,000 exotic animal specimens representing more than 600 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fishes, and invertebrates are housed in the 7.5-hectare (19-acre) complex in Rodriguez, Rizal. The zoo houses a diverse collection of Philippine native wildlife, the majority of which have been successfully reared in captivity thanks to Avilon's ex situ conservation efforts. Avilon Zoo also has a rich collection of flora, with over half of them being native to the Philippines. Avilon Zoo aspires to be one of Southeast Asia's best wildlife parks. Guests at Avilon Zoo can learn about animals through guided tours and informative field trips. Conservation efforts are being made to conserve endangered species and the ecosystem. Aside from the animals and displays, visitors are encouraged to feed arapaimas, exotic water fowl, gigantic tortoises, wild horses, and deer, as well as engage with the zoo's talented and friendly animals.
