The park has meticulously designed the animals habitats to mimic their natural environments to ensure they can thrive and live comfortably at the zoo. You know this works when the animals start to have babies as it means they feel comfortable. Bioparco di Roma has welcomed many babied over the years, but most recently a Sumatran tiger and a rare Grevy's zebra were both born at the zoo, which is amazing.
