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!
The Australian crossing
Welcome to the fascinating world of Australia, a continent home to animals found nowhere else on Earth! 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.
South America
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.
African Primates
Immerse yourself in the captivating world of African primates and discover species that are as intelligent as they are fascinating. From the acrobatics of mantled guerezas and the impressive presence of mandrills to the quiet strength of gorillas, explore their complex social behaviours, modes of communication and the remarkable similarities that connect us to these extraordinary animals. Watch closely: every interaction, every glance and every movement tells a story!
