Amazon World Zoo Park, Wildlife conservation center in Isle of Wight, United Kingdom.
Amazon World Zoo Park is a zoo on the Isle of Wight housing South American animals such as anteaters, toucans, marmosets, and sloths in naturalistic habitats. The enclosures are designed to reflect the forest and woodland environments where these creatures live.
The park opened in 1990 as the first dedicated exotic animal sanctuary on the Isle of Wight. This founding was significant for bringing focus to South American species and conservation efforts to the region.
The zoo hosts daily keeper talks and animal demonstrations that help visitors understand how South American species live and behave. These interactive moments create opportunities to learn directly from people who work with the animals every day.
The grounds have paved pathways that are wheelchair accessible and easy to navigate throughout the day. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear and allow several hours to see all the different animal enclosures.
The park features a specialized exhibit focused on anteaters and tamanduas, showing how these creatures live in their forest habitat. This display offers a rare chance to observe these animals up close and understand their behavior.
