Sunway Lagoon Wildlife Park

The Sunway Lagoon Wildlife Park is working in partnership with the Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia (PERHILITAN) to protect the Southern River Terrapin species, which has been severely impacted by habitat destruction, loss of nesting sites, and pollution. Through public education and providing safe nesting conditions and care for hatchlings, the park aims to increase awareness about the endangered species and help preserve them for future generations. These conservation efforts are crucial to prevent the extinction of the Southern River Terrapin, which was once commonly found in Malaysian rivers.

At Sunway Lagoon's Wildlife Park, you'll have the opportunity to witness the daily routines of a diverse array of animals living in unique habitats, including Rimba Village, Tree Top Terrace, White Lion Kingdom, and Tigerland. Rimba houses the park's reptiles, while The Lake is home to schools of plump Koi fish. Don't miss the Tree Top House, where you'll find a magnificent black panther, or the Sun Bear enclosure, where the fearsome black bear resides. As you stroll through the beautiful exhibits, be sure to take a walk on the Jungle Trail to see a variety of creatures, including flamingos, raccoons, and hornbills, going about their business.

At Sunway Lagoon's Wild Encounters, visitors get to witness animals in their natural habitats and even interact with them by petting and taking photos. Bird enthusiasts can head to the Bird Savannah to watch parrots and macaws mimic human behavior and solve math problems. The Aviary is another must-see destination for bird lovers, with beautiful species like peacocks and great white pelicans. Other animals that visitors can meet and interact with include meerkats, African spurred tortoises, black swans, and prairie dogs at the Pet Village.

Sunway Lagoon Wildlife Park is home to the beautiful and rare white lions, Zola and Zuli, who have been brought to Malaysia from South Africa's Timbavati region and Kruger Park. These majestic animals have near-white blonde fur due to a rare condition called leucism, which results in less pigmentation rather than albinism. Visitors to the park can witness the magnificent pair of white lions in their specially designed habitat and learn more about these rare creatures. As lions are not naturally found in Malaysia, this is a unique opportunity to see these magnificent beasts up close and personal.

At Sunway Lagoon Wildlife Park, you can visit the Tiger Land enclosure and meet two exotic white tigers, Samson and Asha, with stunning sapphire blue eyes. The history of white tigers dates back to the 16th century in India, with the first white tiger, Mohan, captured from the wild in 1915 and cared for by a Maharaja. Today, the white tiger subspecies is considered one of the rarest tigers globally, and it is believed that their population descended from Mohan.
