/ Isle of Wight Trip Activities / Unusual and Exotic Zoo
Amazon World is no ordinary zoo - it is packed with a huge range of unusual rare and exotic animals - around 200 different species spanning the entire animal kingdom.
Learn about conservation and rainforests, and come face to face with some of the world's most endangered creatures - many of which you can't see anywhere else in the UK or even Europe. Try to spot the many species of tropical bird flying freely through the rainforest above you, or count the crocodiles in the pond. Or just sit and watch the lemurs sunbathe and play.
