Taiwan Animal Zone
1. Exhibition Highlights: This zone focuses on presenting Taiwan's native wildlife, aiming to let the public understand Taiwan's rich ecological environment and unique species. The zoo creates habitats that mimic Taiwan's natural environments, such as forests and streams, providing animals with living spaces that closely resemble their original ecosystems.
2. Representative Animals: These include the Formosan black bear, a bear species unique to Taiwan, known for its large size and distinctive survival habits; the Swinhoe's pheasant, a bird species endemic to Taiwan, with brilliantly coloured feathers, making it one of Taiwan's precious bird species; and the sambar deer, the largest herbivorous mammal in Taiwan, which was once widely distributed across Taiwan's mountain forests.

Asian Tropical Rainforest Zone
1. Environment Creation: This area replicates the ecological environment of the Asian tropical rainforest, characterised by high temperatures, high humidity, and lush vegetation. The zoo has planted a wide variety of rainforest plants, such as tall trees and climbing vines, creating a rich tropical rainforest atmosphere.
2. Animal Display: This includes elephants, the largest land mammals, which play an important ecological role in the Asian tropical rainforest; gibbons, which have flexible limbs and excellent climbing abilities, swinging gracefully between trees; and hornbills, whose unique appearance and habits attract the attention of many visitors – hornbills have large, distinctively shaped beaks.

Desert Animal Zone
1. Environmental Features: With the desert environment as its theme, the zoo recreates the dry, hot climate and landscape features of a desert by laying sand and planting drought‑resistant plants.
2. Animal Species: Camels are the typical representatives of desert animals. They have special physiological structures adapted to the desert environment, such as humps that store fat to cope with long periods of food shortage. There are also foxes, which are relatively small in size with fur colour similar to the desert environment, helping them hide and hunt in the desert. In addition, some reptiles such as lizards are also on display, which likewise have the ability to adapt to the dry desert environment.

Australian Animal Zone
1. Ecological Recreation: The park creates a natural environment similar to Australia, including grasslands and shrublands, to accommodate the survival of Australia's unique animals.
2. Main Animals: Kangaroos are one of Australia's representative animals. They move forward by hopping on their strong hind legs, travelling at high speeds with impressive jumping ability. Koalas spend most of their time resting in trees and feeding on eucalyptus leaves, looking delightfully cute. Emus are the world's second‑largest birds, tall in stature and excellent runners.

Bird Garden
1. Bird Habitat Environment: The Bird Garden is planted with various trees and flowers, and features different water areas and resting spots, providing birds with a diverse range of living spaces.
2. Bird Species: A wide variety of bird species are on display, such as peacocks, whose beautiful tail feathers spread out like a colourful fan when displayed, making them highly ornamental. Flamingos typically live in flocks, and their pink feathers are very eye‑catching. In addition, there are various small songbirds whose crisp and melodious calls add vitality and energy to the Bird Garden.

Amphibian and Reptile House
1. Exhibition Methods: Through different display tanks and habitats, visitors can learn about the living habits and characteristics of amphibians and reptiles. The environments inside the tanks are carefully designed according to the needs of different animals – some tanks simulate humid rainforest environments, while others simulate dry rocky areas.
2. Animal Species: These include the cobra, a highly venomous snake whose aggressiveness and unique defence mechanisms are remarkable. There are also green iguanas, which are relatively large, plant‑eating reptiles with distinctive appearances and behavioural habits. Amphibians such as toads are also displayed here; their skin has special glands that secrete venom for self‑protection.

Children's Animal Zone

1. Function and Purpose: This is a zone specially designed for children, aiming to let them learn about animal habits through close contact and interaction with animals, and to cultivate their love for and awareness of protecting animals.
2. Animals and Activities: Some gentle, approachable animals are kept here, such as rabbits, whose cute appearance is very popular with children. There are also goats – children can feed the goats under the guidance of the staff, experiencing the fun of interacting with animals. In addition, there are related educational activities and play facilities, such as mini lectures on animal knowledge and educational games related to animals, allowing children to learn while having fun.
