Aquatic animals' natural prowess to headline River Safari's new animal presentation

Witness the sleek moves of the captivating capybaras—the largest rodents in the world—on land and water, and be awed by the elasticity of the great white pelican’s throat pouch as they tuck into their favourite food, fish. Be wowed as a brahminy kite demonstrates its flight agility and swoops down to snatch its prey from the surface of the water, and allow our precocious asian small-clawed otters to win your heart as they motivate you to conservation action.

Get privileged behind-the-scenes access with River Safari’s new tours too! Get up close and personal with our gentle giants—the manatees—in the Manatee Mania tour, feed them their favourite vegetables, participate in their target training and see if you can spot River Safari’s animal icon, Canola the manatee. Or opt for the Amazing Amazonia tour to feed and learn more about piranhas, electric eels and stingrays, and discard your fears about these often misunderstood unique creatures. Discover little-known facts about our aquatic residents from our guide—all piranhas are omnivorous, and that electric eels are actually not eels, but knifefish!
