Australian House
The Australian House is one of the few places in Europe where Koalas and Goodfellow's Tree-kangaroos can be seen. There is also an aquarium, home to 1,500 species of fish from Australia's Great Barrier Reef. There are also timid Rat-kangaroos, Kookaburras and a variety of Snakes. In nearby outdoor enclosures, there are Parma wallabies and Red kangaroos, both in large enclosures.
Manatee Basin
The Manatee Basin is a habitat for a family of West Indian Manatees, and ZooParc de Beauval has one of the most successful breeding herds in Europe. The manatee tank is 26 degrees, 1,000 cubic meters of water and 2 meters of glass around part of the tank. As well as manatees, the pool also hosts amazing Amazonian fish and river turtles. Each manatee consumes up to 50 kg of vegetation per day,[3] preferring to eat lettuce, celery and carrots. The first baby manatee is called Sylvester and was born on the 31 December 2001, and was later followed in 2003 by the world's first captive born manatee twins.
Serre Tropicale des Singes
This house was made to provide shelter for some of the parks many primates. Some of the primate species present include the troop of Chimpanzee and the Orang-utan (which live alongside Gibbon families). Both species of primate live on large outdoor islands that can be viewed easily, and each group of primates have 400 meters of ground to explore. At the beginning of this house is a vivarium, home to one hundred Snakes, as well as Turtles and Nile crocodiles that can be observed underwater. At the far end of the house is an area devoted to small primates, with Emperor tamarin, Pygmy marmoset and the nocturnal Tarsier.
Gorilla complex
Leading on from the Bassin le Lamatins, the Gorilla Complex is a huge 11-meter-tall greenhouse, home to free-flying ducks and birds such as toucans. There is a lagoon home to rays, and a large indoor habitat for a family of gorilla, with a huge 9 meter space to allow the gorillas to climb. The gorillas also have access to a large outdoor island.
