It has been 6 years since I visited Ragunan Zoo during a holiday with my friend. 

Ragunan zoo is a kind of combination between zoo and park. It has almost 30,000 plants from 250 different kinds of. Since it is a combination between zoo and park, Ragunan Zoo is also known as Ragunan Zoological Park. Ragunan Zoo was constructed based on the open zoo concept that allowed visitors to feel nearer to the animals. Besides being a recreation park, Ragunan Zoo has an important role in animal conservation through the cultivation program, and it also becomes a good place for educational and research activities. Some animals that have been successfully cultivated in Ragunan Zoo are white tiger, Sumatran tiger, orang utan, komodo, phyton, and some types of birds (i.e kakatua bird, parrot, and cassowary) as well as other kind of animals.

Ragunan zoo in South Jakarta is popular place to visit, particulary during holiday. Jakarta's zoo is situated in the suburb of Ragunan in the southern part of the city. Laid out in a lush tropical setting, such indigenous animals as the Komodo lizard, tapir, anoa, Java tiger, banteng, wild ox and brightly colored birds are given ample room to be in this green foliage. The new primates are centered at Ragunan Zoo. It's a world-class facility and guaranteed to entertain and educate both the young and young at heart.

Besides walking around while observing the animals behavior in Ragunan Zoological Park, we could see how the animals eat at Ragunan Zoological Park. Eating time of the animals has been scheduled by the management.

Somehow, most people know Ragunan Zoo as recreational area only. However, it also functions as a city water catchment and green are. That's way we call it Taman Margasatwa Ragunan or Ragunan Wildlife Reserve.
