Roving Interpretation
Keep your eyes peeled: our naturalist-interpreters move directly through the heart of the habitats to meet you!
Through roving interpretation, enjoy spontaneous and privileged exchanges with our specialists, who walk around with fascinating artifacts such as skulls, furs and other surprising objects to discover up close. These more intimate encounters are the perfect opportunity to ask your questions, spark your curiosity and even take part in a live interpretation of an animal behaviour or a unique moment unfolding right before your eyes. Each roving interpretation is different… and every encounter may have a few surprises in store!

Keep your eyes open: an unexpected behaviour or interaction between the animals could very well become the highlight of the moment!

Kangaroos, wallabies, emus and black swans will help you explore the remarkable adaptations developed to survive in environments that are often arid and unpredictable. Along the way, let yourself be surprised by the anecdotes, artifacts and discoveries shared by our naturalists.

Mysterious and bursting with life, South America is home to some of the most impressive animals on the planet. Step into the world of the powerful jaguar, the imposing American alligators and the majestic Andean condor, and discover the amazing adaptations that allow them to thrive in habitats as varied as tropical forests, wetlands and mountains. A perfect opportunity to learn more about the predators, scavengers and fascinating ecosystems of the South American continent.
