A representative of Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens said that after 6 months of testing and perfecting, the night animal viewing program at the Zoo and Botanical Gardens has attracted more than 1,300 visitors to experience on weekend evenings. Realizing that people have a great interest in the animal world at night, the Zoo and Botanical Gardens has expanded the program to every day of the week.

Each tour is limited to 20 people, aged 10 - 65. Each tour takes place between 7pm - 8pm and 8:15pm - 9:15pm.

People will be able to observe the night activities of animals such as tigers, leopards, hyenas... in soft light, without affecting their living environment.

Along with that, the group listened to explanations about these animals to love nature more and take practical actions to protect the surrounding living environment.

Vo Thai An (23 years old, living in Tan Son Nhi ward) shared: "I once participated in the experimental night animal viewing program at the Zoo and found it quite surprising and interesting to witness species such as tigers, lions, raccoons... moving quickly, because during the day when I came here, I mainly saw them sleeping.

When listening to the tour guides tell stories about the animals, I also feel their love for animals. With that love, I believe that the Zoo will know how to regulate the program so as not to affect other animals, contributing to spreading the love of nature to more people, especially children."
