The environment of a real tropical forest, where it is warm and humid all year round!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The two-part tropical house of the Tallinn Zoo provides an overview of the biodiversity of tropical areas. From freshwater fish to inhabitants of coral reefs. From the big hairy armadillo<\/strong> living in the grassland and semi-desert areas and the common marmosets<\/strong> climbing the treetops of the tropical forest. You can observe the activities of the family of punk-looking cotton-top tamarins<\/strong> who are in a critical state in nature, admire colorful parrots<\/strong>, giant snake anaconda<\/strong>, a large common iguana<\/strong>, a green crested basilisk<\/strong> that can run on the water surface, and many other reptiles, peculiar amphibians, interesting fish and exciting anthropods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpening your eye at the night exposition, you can see extremely supple and flexible kinkajous<\/strong> with a prehensile tail, sometimes called honey bears, and tiny Senegalese galagos<\/strong>, whose cries are reminiscent of a child crying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step into the tropical rainforest!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the year, in the warm and humid tropical house, which imitates the ambiance of a tropical rainforest (humidity 80-90%, temperature 24-28 \u00b0 C), you can see the largest and smallest crocodile in the world: the saltwater crocodile<\/strong> and the African dwarf crocodile<\/strong>. A sharp eye catches one of the world’s rarest crocodile, critically endangered Chinese alligator<\/strong> swimming in the pools, and a Chinese soft-shell turtle<\/strong> endangered due to it being consumed as food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can explore the life of human closest relatives, chimpanzees<\/strong> in danger of extinction in the wild, and the world’s smallest monkeys, the pygmy marmosets<\/strong>. A large marine aquarium with colorful corals<\/strong> and fish<\/strong> is really eye-catching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the summer, the outdoor exhibition features flamingos and hornbills<\/strong>, the extremely rare Asian lion<\/strong>, Madagascar lemurs<\/strong>, the world’s largest game gaur<\/strong>, warthogs and red river hogs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
