Zoo in Pililla, Rizal: Lyger Animal Sanctuary/Tiger Holding Facility

A few months old public aquarium and zoo in Pililla, Rizal was visited unplanned by Tutubi recently when he noticed a sign leading to the zoo/aquarium along the highway of Pililla, Rizal just after passing by the twisties from Laguna and the 54 MW Pililla Wind Farm.


Animals to see include lions, tigers, ligers/lygers, camels, sheep, birds, peacocks, civet cat (alamid), deer, boars, monkeys, ducks, sorry no elephants and giraffes and hippopotamuses and dinosaurs and velociraptors :)

a sleeping civet cat (alamid), the one who can make your exotic kopi luwak/kape alamid/civet cat coffee

a dromedary (single hump camel)

you can ride a boat for PhP100 for 15 minutes, then feed the mighty ducks in the small shallow lagoon

a cute kid enjoying mini-horses (i call them hobbit horses or puny ponies)

the resident star of the zoo are these sleeping ligers/lyger that are really huge. Ligers are hybrid cross between a male lion (Panthera leo) and a female tiger, a tigress (Panthera tigris)

Other facilities include a small aquarium, canteen above the lagoon but snacks only, ample parking space, simple toilets.
