Taipei Zoo Introduction
Take action to reverse the endangered species trend, starting with you and me! Many visitors often ask: Why is the emblem of the Taipei Zoo a Formosan sika deer? It turns out that the successful breeding and rehabilitation of the Formosan sika deer is not only an outstanding conservation example but also Taiwan's first instance of wildlife rehabilitation through conservation breeding and "reintroduction" in a zoo. By understanding the journey of the Formosan sika deer's recovery, we can explore the value of zoos and their importance in wildlife conservation. Therefore, when the Taipei Zoo moved 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 Zoo is the largest zoo in Southeast Asia, with a wide variety of animals, making it impossible to see everything in just one day! Before you go, it’s a good idea to browse the official website for the park map and suggested itineraries, choose your own route, and then enjoy the adorable animals to your heart's content!
