Tropicario
Tropicario and its collection
Tropicario, opened in 2000, is a zoo in Helsinki, Finland.
The business dates from 2000 and was formerly based in Hämeenlinna, where cramped animal quarters forced a move to Vallila, opening there in February 2007. The display covers highly venomous snakes, large monitor lizards and many other reptiles, and shows more big constrictors than anywhere else in the Nordic countries. A black water monitor hatched by parthenogenesis in 2017, reportedly a world first, and again in 2020.
Animals and collection
Animals on show include mustavesivaraani, krokotiilit, kuristajakäärmeistä and varaani-liskoista.
