Where a shark’s bite was three metres wide and GIANT snakes ate crocodiles for breakfast! Discover 13 life-sized animatronic PREDATORS. But beware…they’re still hungry!
Explore our NEW Madagascar habitat that is home to stunning wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Discover the mysterious fossa and get closer to rare lemurs in our incredible walkthrough habitat.
