The Rainforest Pyramid is a green area that simulates the big natural forests of the world, animals are all hidden to face the harsh climates of these forests but their symphony of sound, sings, and growl can be heard all over the place.
Depending on the area you are located you may see enclosed cages with little animals like frogs and chameleons, and more open areas for the bigger animals like River Otters, Birds, Apes and the big trees.
All these areas are maintained with tropical temperatures to emulate these animal habitats as much as possible.
