Visiting Zoo Negara Malaysia

Zoo Negara Malaysia is now 45 years old and has matured into a well-known zoo all around the world. It was officially opened to the public in 1963. Zoo Negara have a total of over 5137 animals from 459 species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, exotic mammals, reptiles and birds. Of these, the majority are fish and bird species while about a hundred are mammals and the reptiles.





I can’t remember when my last trip to Zoo Negara was,it must be more than a decade ago. I was surprised that the zoo was in good condition. Maintenance is an issue and many of these beautiful exhibits are now covered in thick foliage therefore you might not be able to spot the lion or tiger hiding behind the thick bushes.. I always thought our Zoo Negara was poorly managed. It’s probably still far from being world class, but it’s good enough to provide a decent experience for visitors.



Located in Ampang, the Zoo Negara technically in the state of Selangor but its only 5 minutes from Kuala Lumpur city (depending on which part of the city you are coming from). Over 4000 animals from 400 different species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish supposedly live at the zoo but you won’t be able to see all 4000 of them. You can consider yourself lucky if you manage to spot half of that.
