Touted as one of the greatest conservation institutions across the globe, the site plays host to a plethora of interactive, educational and entertainment experiences for people of all ages. The Dubai Municipality has adopted many changes to the park, in addition to promoting a wide range of animal welfare and conservation strategies that underpin the park’s creation, stated a press release. The 119 hectare, new-look wildlife reserve is home to 3,000 animals alongside some new ones too. These include African elephants and giraffes.
Eighty-four different species of mammals can be found including 15 different carnivores and 18 primates, 60 types of reptiles, 115 kinds of birds plus amphibians and invertebrates.
