A tayras (Eira barbara) in its separate exhibit inside Jungle Trek in the Papiliorama. The Papiliorama is one of the few zoos in Europe to keep and breed this species.
Jungle Trek is a dome-shaped tropical house 40 meters in diameter and 18 meters tall. It was opened in 2008 and was a major expansion of the Papiliorama.
Jungle Trek is meant to be a little piece of Shipstern, the nature reserve in Belize that the Papiliorama Foundation manages in situ, and shows wildlife from that region.
