Taipei Zoo Introduction
Take action to reverse the trend of endangered species starting from you and me! Many visitors often ask: why is the emblem of Taipei Zoo a Formosan sika deer? It turns out that the revival of the Formosan sika deer is not only a very successful conservation example but also Taiwan's first instance of "reintroduction" of wildlife through conservation breeding in a zoo. By understanding the journey of the Formosan sika deer’s revival, one can explore the value of zoos and their importance in wildlife conservation. Thus, when Taipei Zoo relocated from Yuanshan to the new facility in Muzha in 1986, the image of the Formosan sika deer was adopted as the new emblem. Taipei Zoo is the largest zoo in Southeast Asia, with a rich and diverse variety of animals that you can hardly finish exploring in a whole day! Before you set out, it’s a good idea to browse the official website for the park map and recommended itineraries to select your own personalized route so you can fully enjoy the adorable appearances of the animals!
