Ta Mao Animal Park, Phnom Pehn
This large animal park’s animals were taken from traders in exotic animals. It holds two spectacular Asian leopards, leopard cats, many tigers, Asian antelope we’d never heard about and a few large Captain Hook type crocs (teeth exposed along the line of their mouth like the below photos from an internet site) and the world’s smallest bear, the sun bear and related moon bear. These are the bears you see in circuses and are hunted for their bile, used in local ‘viagra’ formulae.
Unique Petting Zoo
It’s also a unique petting zoo. You can pet the Gibbons. In fact they like getting scratched and tickled. And you can scratch and feed the elephant. For a family that like to touch animals (except for Dad) this is a satisfying way to spend time.
