Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo,
also known as
Korat
Zoo,
is located
on a 545
rai
plot of land, some 19 km from the city centre.
It claims
to host more than 1,500 animals and some 200 species
from around the world.
An
effort is made to house the animals in accommodation
and cages similar to their natural habitat. Since
the local climate
is similar to that of the natural wildlife of the
Savanna, the zoo focuses for a large part on animals
from Africa.
