Wildlands, is a zoo in Emmen, the Netherlands. It was opened by King Willem Alexander on March 18, 2016, replacing the Emmen Zoo. Wildlands is a zoo with four main areas; Jungola, Serenga, Nortica and Animazia.
Jungola is jungle-themed and displays butterflies, tropical birds, lemurs, gibbons, small-clawed otters and more. The most prominent feature of Jungola is the indoor tropical rainforest hall Rimbula, which is the largest zoo jungle hall in the world and the largest greenhouse in Europe. Serenga is the African savanna section and is home to species such as lion, zebras, giraffes, rhinoceros and baboons, but also Australian red-necked wallabies. Nortica is aimed at cold oceans and is home to polar bear, Californian sea lion, South American fur seal and Humboldt penguin. Animazia, is a large indoor playground, but also home to an aquarium with species such as corals, green sea turtles and tropical fish.
