Orientarium ZOO Łódź

Orientarium ZOO Łódź is the most modern complex which presents the fauna and flora of Southern-Eastern Asia. The biggest Indian elephant in Europe, record-sized false Malaysia gharial, critically endangered Sumatran orangutans, and the underwater tunnel, where you can look at sharks and rays swimming above your head - it’s only the part of the attractions waiting for you in the object.

The exhibition space is divided into four parts. In the first of them - the elephants’ area - we can see the biggest Indian elephant in Europe, Aleksander, and his younger fellow Taru. Every day at 11:00 AM visitors can watch the bath and feeding - both from the observation deck and behind the glass of the underwater tunnel. This is also a free flight area where you can see cattle egrets flying high.

The second area, called Celebes, is split into two runways. One of them is home for Marlenka and Vincent, two Asian small-clawed otters, Philippine porcupines, and red junglefowls. In the second one lives the macaques family - Punjub, Calineczka, Naomi, and Jaya.

In another area - the oceanic one - live around 1300 fishes, including sharks, rarely seen guitar rins, zebra sharks, blacktip sharks, spotted eagle rays, and himanturas. The visitors can watch over the animals in the largest underwater tunnel in Poland. In smaller tanks swim seahorses, triggerfishes, rubripes and apogons.

The last and the warmest area of the Orientarium is called the Sunda Islands. It is a kingdom of few species. We can meet here the record-sized false gavial Kraken and his girlfriend Penelope, the Sumatran orangutans Ketawa, Budi and Joko, gibbons, East Javan langurs, Java mouse-deer, binturongs, and Malay bears. We can also see the Asian birds flying over our heads from time to time.
