Taipei Zoo Introduction
The action to reverse the trend of endangered species starts with you and me! Visitors often ask: Why is the emblem of the Taipei Zoo the Formosan sambar deer? The revival of the Formosan sambar deer not only serves as a remarkably successful conservation example but also represents Taiwan's first instance of breeding and "reintroducing" wildlife through a zoo's conservation efforts. By understanding the journey of the Formosan sambar deer's revival, we can explore the value of zoos and their significance in wildlife conservation. Thus, when the Taipei Zoo moved from Yuanshan to its new location in Muzha in 1986, it adopted the image of the Formosan sambar deer as its new emblem. The Taipei Zoo is the largest zoo in Southeast Asia, boasting a rich and diverse variety of animals that you won't be able to finish exploring in just one day! Before your visit, it's a good idea to check the official website for the park map and suggested itineraries, so you can choose your own personalized route and fully enjoy the adorable animals!
