Taipei Zoo Introduction
The action to reverse the trend of species endangerment starts with you and me! Tourists often ask: why is the emblem of Taipei City Zoo the Formosan sika deer? It turns out that the breeding of Formosan sika deer is not only a remarkably successful conservation example, but also Taiwan's first case of wildlife restoration through zoo breeding and "reintroduction" of wildlife. By understanding the journey of Formosan sika deer restoration, 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. Taipei City Zoo is the largest zoo in Southeast Asia, with a rich and diverse array of animal species that you can spend a whole day exploring! Before you set off, it’s a good idea to check the official website's park map and suggested itineraries to choose your own personalized route so you can fully enjoy the adorable animals!
