Randers Tropical Zoo (Danish: Randers Regnskov) is an indoor zoo in Randers, Denmark. It is located in three big domes, with the biomes of Africa, Asia, and South America. The domes contain animals from the biomes, and most of the animal live free in the domes. In addition there are many reptiles, a snakeyard with free harmless snakes, and a saltwater aquarium with tropical fish. The zoo started with two domes (Africa and Asia); the third being built later.[2] In total there are about 275 animal species in Randers Tropical Zoo; about 200 in the domes and 75 in the saltwater aquarium.[1]
The climate inside the domes is controlled by computers, because the length of daylight hours varies much more in Denmark than in tropical latitudes.
