Hi
I created a species list for this facility:
Name: Langkawi Nature Park
Location: Langkawi Island, Kedah, Malaysia
Website: Welcome to LANGKAWI NATURE PARK
This park was formally a large park, with a big animal collection including Chimpanzees, Malayan Tigers, Asian Alephants, Malayan Sunbears, Brown Bear, Lynx, and many more. The park opened in 2018, but soon closed due to covid in 2020. The park re-opened in December 2023, with about 1/3of the zoo. The remaining 2/3 is abandoned, with future renovation plans.
Photos of former exhibits have been uploaded by another zoochatter here:
