Port of Spain's 2.5-hectare zoo has a host of indigenous species – red howler monkeys, ocelots, caiman and various birds, snakes and tropical fish – there's an otter pool with an underwater viewing area, plus giraffes, lions, Bengal tigers and zebra. However, many enclosures (especially those in the primate section) are pitifully small.
