The zoo especially shows the Moroccan fauna and other species of the Saharan dessert and is devided in to sections. In the Atlas Mountain section you meet animals like the Atlas Lion (an extinct subspecies, these animals shown though are those with the real genes), the Barbary Sheep and the Barary Macaque. In the Saharan section you meet animals like the Oryx and the Addax, as well as the ostrich. A forest section with Hippos and Chimpanzees. In each area you learn about the biodiversity of a specific habitat, not only through animals and plants, as well through touching, smelling and playgrounds.The zoo has a vivarum
