Sao Carlos Ecological Park in Brazil Sao Carlos Ecological Park news reviews

[Arizona Docent]

Information on the park seems lacking. Their official website simply has a map and email contact: Parque Ecológico de São Carlos

Their Facebook page mostly has photos of people visiting the park: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Parque-Ecológico-de-São-Carlos/275092999234792

Elias has posted a few nice photos which seem to indicate there are some good enclosures. Perhaps he can write a short summary or review on this thread?

São Carlos Ecological Park- São Paulo state- Brazil

Dear Friend,

Unhappily the website is very poor in information.

But in my opinion is one of the best zoos in Brazil. They display only south american animals, being the best areas the Cerrado Area and Patagonia Area.
Incredible mammal breeding success. The most prolific Spectacled bear family in Brazil.

Thanks for the response. Do they have any small cats (and if so, which ones)?

 

[Elias]

They have: Ocelots (beautiful exhibit), Jaguarundi, Margay and Oncilla

Nice collection, but I was hoping for pampas cat.

Nice collection, but I was hoping for pampas cat.

For these your best options are unquestionably either Brasilia zoo or Sorocaba zoo (personally I reccomend highly the latter but I am biased).

There are five Pampas cats at Sao Paulo zoo but the last I heard about them they are kept off-show from the public as they are trying to breed them and they are highly stressed animals.

Love to see more contributions in the zoo news threads from you.

Really nice pictures and if I make it to Amazonia sure to visit Sao Carlos Ecological Park.
