The exhibit was created by transforming the original Asian aviary and expanding the sloth bear enclosure.
It is named after the federal state of Kerala in southern India – one of the natural jewels of the Orient.
The structures feature authentic natural laterite, a material typical of Indian architecture.
The spacious aviary measures 40 meters in length and 25 meters in width.
A new resting den allows visitors to observe the sloth bears even during the winter months.
The atmosphere is enhanced by statues of the god Ganesha, dragon-shaped gargoyles, carved wooden doors, Indian music, and the scent of incense.
