Randers Tropical Zoo (

of Africa, Asia, and South America. The domes contain animals from the biomes, and most of the animals live freely in the domes. In addition there are many reptiles, a snakeyard with free harmless snakes, and a saltwater aquarium with tropical fish.

The zoo first opened with two domes (Africa and Asia); the third being built later.^[3] In total there are approximately 275 animal species in Randers Tropical Zoo; about 200 in the domes and 75 in the saltwater aquarium.^[1] The South American dome is 2,000 m² (22,000 sq ft) and is home to species such as South American tapir, West Indian manatee, callitrichid monkeys and macaws,^[4] the African dome is 500 m² (5,400 sq ft) and is home to species such as lemurs,^[5] and the Asian dome is 700 m² (7,500 sq ft) and is home of species such as pileated gibbon and Komodo dragon.^[6] In 2015, an exhibit for jaguars opened, which is the first located outside the domes.^[7] Adjacent to the domes is Danmarksparken ("Denmark Park") with farm animals and playgrounds.^[8]

The climate inside the domes is controlled by computers because the length of daylight hours varies much more in Denmark than in tropical latitudes.
