While in normal zoos animals are seen behind cages, at this zoo one can experience their natural behavior. There are water tunnels in the penguin's pool. Lions and tigers live close to their natural habitat. The animals are free to roam around, swing and fly in close proximity. The penguins are taken for a walk though the park so as not to lack exercise (as long as there is snow), and this has become a very famous winter event. It has become a very famous tourist spot for many visitors from Japan and abroad. http://www5.city.asahikawa.hokkaido.jp/asahiyamazoo/ Sapporo Maruyama Zoo http://www.city.sapporo.jp/zoo/ Otaru Unga Kogeikan http://otaru.nu/
