Wuhan Zoo

Located at the southeast corner of the zoo, the wetland bird zone covers more than 120 thousand square meters (29.7 acres), displaying about 1,400 rare birds of 60 species. Black swans are a feature of the wetland bird zone. The Swan Lake dotted with a flock of black swans in the sunset is a beautiful scene perfect for photography. Besides, the peacock, flamingo, red-crowned crane are also big attractions.

The penguin house is also a must-see in Wuhan Zoo. Penguins are supposed to live in Antarctica, but the penguins here are native to the sweltering African continent - the Ringed Penguin. It differs from other penguins in that it has a black stripe on its upper chest that forms a large ring, extending to the lower part of its belly. That makes it look like a pot-bellied gentleman in a fashionable tuxedo. Hence, it is also known as “Knight Penguin”.
 

The house shows more than 50 species and 800 rare birds such as macaw, sunflower parrot, hornbill, myna, acacia, magpie, thrush and canary. Here you can also enjoy more than 30 kinds of birds’ wonderful sounds performance.
