Taipei Zoo Introduction
The action to reverse the trend of endangered species starts with you and me! Tourists often ask: why is the emblem of the Taipei City Zoo a Formosan sika deer? The revival of the Formosan sika deer is not only a remarkably successful conservation example but also Taiwan's first case of wildlife rehabilitation through conservation breeding and "reintroduction" by a zoo. By understanding the journey of the Formosan sika deer’s revival, we can explore the value of zoos and their importance in wildlife conservation. Therefore, when the Taipei City Zoo relocated from Yuanshan to its new location in Muzha in 1986, it adopted the image of the Formosan sika deer as its new emblem. The Taipei City Zoo is the largest zoo in Southeast Asia, rich and diverse in animal species, and it cannot be fully explored in a single day! Before heading out, it’s a good idea to browse the official website for park maps and suggested itineraries, select your own route, and then enjoy the adorable animals! (Source: Taipei City Zoo)
