Among the many residents of the zoo are the Borneo Pygmy elephants, Sumatran rhinoceros, Orang Utan, Proboscis monkey, Malayan Tiger as well as a few species of deer.

The botanical component offers visitors the chance to go jungle trekking along the botanical trail. At the aviary, there are many species of birds like the hornbill, pigeons, parrots, eagles, egrets and many more.
