# Itozu no Mori Park

The zoo is built around habitats: an African savanna, a wooded forest floor with ponds and streams, and a canopy world. Amur tigers, Sri Lankan elephants, Masai giraffes and lions live here. The canopy cage stands six meters tall and is seen from a deck four stories up. A 13-meter aviary of 704 square meters lets you walk inside among about 50 birds. The play zone adds a merry-go-round and climbing frames. Benches and tables ring the lawn area.
