WILDLIFE

It's typically not a good idea to stress yourself out in "The City". Check out this place! It's not just a Park. This is also a memorial symbol of Quezon City. Almost all of the animals here are bred here or found and given by Filipino Citizens.

There are animals in here which are almost extinct, because of persecution done by hunters nationwide. Most of these animals are treated and bred to multiply and save their kind from extinction.
