Natur'Zoo de Mervent, Zoo in Mervent, France
Natur'Zoo de Mervent is a zoological park located within forested land, housing approximately 500 animals representing around 60 species in naturalistic enclosures. The collection includes various mammals, birds, and reptiles spread across the grounds in separate areas.
The zoo was established to display animals in settings reflecting their natural habitats. Over time it grew into an important location for nature education and animal care in the region.
The zoo provides a setting where visitors observe animals living in habitats designed to mirror their natural environments. The layout encourages people to watch how creatures behave and interact, offering informal learning opportunities throughout the visit.
The location is accessible with wide paths leading through the wooded grounds. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and note that many animals are more active during early morning or late afternoon hours.
The park houses one of the few pairs of Iberian lynx in French zoos, originating from Spain. These rare wild cats are nearly extinct in Europe, and their presence here represents an important effort to preserve the species.
