World of Birds Wildlife Sanctuary and Monkey Park
World of Birds Wildlife Sanctuary and Monkey Park (often shortened to World of Birds) is a zoo in Hout Bay, a suburb of Cape Town in South Africa. As suggested by its name, the focus is primarily on birds and monkeys. It is the largest African bird park〔 and among the bird parks in the world with the higher number of species.〔International Zoo Yearbook (2011). ''Zoos and Aquariums of the World'', pp. 282-430. Vol 45, issue 1〕
==Exhibits and species==
Of the approximately 400 animal species,〔 about 330 are birds; the third highest bird diversity of any zoo that primarily focuses on this animal group (only Weltvogelpark Walsrode and Jurong Bird Park are above).〔 The vast majority of the birds in the park are exhibited in walk-through aviaries. In total there are more than 100 aviaries.〔(Birds – Welcome to World of Birds. ) Retrieved 6 June 2012〕
Among the many birds are groups such as penguins, rheas, waterfowl, eagles, owls, pelicans, flamingos, pheasants, parrots, hornbills, turacos and weavers. Among mammals are various monkeys (such as baboons, marmosets and tamarins), meerkats and porcupines,〔(Mammals – Welcome to World of Birds. ) Retrieved 6 June 2012〕 and reptiles include green iguana, monitor lizards and tortoises.〔(Reptiles – Welcome to World of Birds. ) Retrieved 6 June 2012〕
