Nguyen Truong Son, chair of Bao Son group, detailed the rare animals at this zoo from Africa, including white lions, white tigers, yellow tigers, hyenas, panthers, rhinos, and zebras. The wildlife rescue centre presented some species of endangered monkeys and birds to the zoo as well.
After being quarantined for infectious disease upon arrival in Vietnam, the animals went to Thien Duong Bao Son Zoo, where they were tested again and vaccinated.
Apart from the zoo, an ocean-life aquarium open this April featuring sharks, rays, dolphins, sea-calves and sea lions. Dolphins and sea-calves will perform in a sea circus.
Almost all the new construction at Thien Duong Bao Son park has been completed. This 20 ha entertainment and tourism park opens with investment capital of $100 million.
Hanoi currently has only one zoo, named Thu Le.
