As Zoo Negara is considered one of the most exciting zoos in Southeast Asia, what kind of animals can the visitors see? Can they take photos with the cockatoos, snakes and ponies?"
Being the first National Zoo in Malaysia, Zoo Negara (National Zoo) was opened in 1963. The Zoo is operated by the Malaysian Zoological Society, and has a collection of a wide range of animals from all over the world. Besides showcasing the animals, the Zoo emphasised on four main areas - Conservation, Education, Research and Recreation - a valuable resource for all visitors.
Zoo Negara is located in Hulu Kelang, situated about 13km from Kuala Lumpur. The zoo houses more than 5,000 animals from over 400 species including birds, fish, mammals and reptiles.
It is particularly popular during weekends and public holidays. Besides just watching the animals, there are also performances by orangutans and sea lions as well.
