Nestled in the leafy backyard of the majestic Grand Palace, the Johor Zoo is a popular weekend destination for local families. Compact enough so as not to turn a leisurely stroll into a tiring trek, it houses nevertheless a good variety of animals to keep the young ones fascinated and entertained. Tropical birds, wild cats (including Indo-Chinese tigers), gorillas and camels find permanent residence here, amongst many other creatures. The clean, shady tracks make for a pleasant walk, while ample sitting areas cater well to small picnics.

Cruelty to Malayan Sun Bear cub
I was sad to see the photos in the NEW STRAITS TIMES on feb 4th about a Malayan Sun Bear cub, chained and housed in a far too small cage, so that it cannot stand up. Apparrently it is tied to a tree in the day for public viewing. This is a disgusting way to treat any animal. Why is this happening in your Zoo? roger brett Things like this just disgust tourists, and one bad image destroys a hundred good ones. Please treat this bear with some respect and put it in a decent comfortable enclosure
Would you recommend this to a friend?
No

Why? / Why Not?
