Taipei Zoo

Reversing the trend of species endangerment starts with you and me! Visitors often ask: Why is the Taipei Zoo's emblem a sika deer? It turns out that the recovery of the sika deer is not only a highly successful conservation example, but also Taiwan's first instance of "reintroducing" a wild animal through zoo conservation breeding and reproduction. By understanding the journey of sika deer recovery, one can explore the value of zoos and their importance to wildlife conservation. Therefore, when the Taipei Zoo moved from Yuanshan to its new Wenshan (Muzha) location in 1986, the image of the sika deer was chosen as its new emblem. The Taipei Zoo is the largest zoo in Southeast Asia, with a rich and diverse array of animal species – you can't see it all in one day! Before you go, you might want to browse the park map and suggested itineraries on the official website. After choosing your own personalized route, you can fully enjoy the adorable looks of the cute animals! (Source: Taipei Zoo)
