Tsimbazaza Zoo

The zoo's exhibit of an elephant bird skeleton and egg

Tsimbazaza Zoo (known locally as Parc Botanique et Zoologique de Tsimbazaza or PBZT^[1]) is a zoo and botanical garden in southern Antananarivo, Madagascar, located just north of the National Assembly of Madagascar building. It is the only zoo of its kind in Madagascar. On November 1989, the WWF celebrated its tenth year in Madagascar by opening an environmental teaching center at the zoo.^[2] It is said to house "the finest collection of Madagascan wildlife", with several unique species on display. The zoo has a museum with collections of tribal carvings and the skeleton of an elephant bird.
