Belize Species Exhibits
Belize has miles of rainforest reserves, and species exhibits help raise awareness of the importance of these protected wildernesses. Species exhibits also allow visitors to see animals they probably would never see in the wild. For instance, Belize is one of the few places where jaguars still have a habitat, but their populations have grown so small it's quite rare to see them outside of zoo. Species exhibits will also give you a chance to see Belize's native tapirs, monkeys, and exotic birds.
