It houses a variety of species that are generally considered docile, such as ornamental birds and smaller mammals. The area provides a specialized space for children to engage with wildlife through designated observation points. Being part of the wider Ragunan Zoological Park, it benefits from the extensive green canopy of the surrounding 140-hectare parkland.
