Bioparc Valencia

Bioparc Valencia is a zoological park in Spain, located on the Mediterranean coast in the city of Valencia, at the western end of the Jardín del Turia. It replaced the Zoo de Viveros de Valencia, founded in 1965 and closed in 2007, and opened on 27 February 2008. It is owned by Valencia City Council but managed by a private company, Rain Forest Valencia.

Specialising in African fauna, it is divided into four zones representing four biomes: dry savanna, wet savanna, equatorial African forests and Madagascar.

Designed by the company Rain Forest Diseño, its layout conceals the barriers between visitors and animals (cages, railings, etc.), giving the impression that the visitor is entering the animal's habitat.[citation needed]

In its first phase it covers 100,000 square metres and is home to more than 800 animals of 116 species from the African continent, in large spaces that recreate each animal's habitat.
