It will house more than 25 animal species, including two new species making their Singapore debut: The Francois’ langur, an endangered species native to China and northern Vietnam, and the Philippine spotted deer, of which there are only 700 mature ones around. Other animals include the Malayan tiger, sun bear, Javan langur and red dhole, a kind of Asiatic wild dog.

Aside from the animals, another highlight is a 220m-long cavern that was modelled after the Mulu cave system in Sarawak, Malaysia, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The park was designed to showcase the different layers of the rainforest, from cavern to canopy through a variety of routes for visitors to choose from, depending on whether they want an easier route or a relatively more adventurous one.
The trek is an immersive experience that allows visitors to choose paths of varying difficulty. (Photos: CNA/Lauren Chian)
