Faunia, Nature park and zoo in Madrid, Spain
Faunia is a zoo and nature park that houses around 1,000 animals from different parts of the world across a large area. The facility includes sections that range from icy polar regions to tropical rainforests, allowing animals to live in habitats similar to their natural environments.
The park opened in 2001 as a learning space to connect visitors more closely with nature. It was created to help people understand wildlife protection and conservation better through hands-on experience with different ecosystems.
The park showcases different ecosystems and how animals fit into their worlds, helping visitors understand the connections between wildlife and human life. You can observe how these habitats work and why protecting them matters for the animals living there.
The park has restaurants, cafes, and shops so visitors can spend the day comfortably without worrying about meals or supplies. It is easy to reach using public transportation from different parts of Madrid.
The park's Antarctica section maintains specific cold temperatures year-round to mimic the harsh conditions where penguins naturally live. This allows visitors to see these birds in an environment that closely resembles their real home.
