The majority of zoos around the world

Introduction

Although Central Park Zoo is slightly smaller than Bronx Zoo, it is a perfect place to take children for a picnic on weekends. The park can be divided into the Sea Lion Performance Area, the Polar Circle Area, and the Tropical Rainforest Area, each with its own unique features. Among them, the Sea Lion Performance Area is the most popular, where shiny and smooth sea lions play freely in the pool and sometimes climb up small hills to do playful actions, causing visitors to exclaim. Feeding fish to these huge sea lions on schedule every day is also a thrilling experience, as visitors can see how agile they are in catching every fish. The most attractive must be the polar bears, placed in a real valley and slowly moving under the gaze of visitors. Looking at these snow-white beasts, people find them charming like cute toys. Especially when foreign children say "Polar Bear" with innocent accents, this feeling is even more obvious, as if those furry polar bears are just cute stuffed toys.
