During this Spring Festival holiday, visiting a zoo may be a nice choice to spend the holidays with your family members or friends. Recently, 5 kinds of rare animals have made their home and opened to the visitors at Zhongshan Park Zoo in Xiamen.
 

Coming from Hainan Wild Animal Zoo and Longyan Zoo, these 5 kinds of rare animals are white ox, liger, cockatoo, Muntiacus reevesi, and yellow billed stork. Among them, the white ox and liger are the most must-see animals.

 

Cockatoo

Muntiacus reevesi

 
The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a tigress, hence has parents with the same genus but of different species. It is distinct from the similar hybrid tiglon. It is the largest of all cats and extant felines due to hybrid vigour. Ligers borrow characteristics from both species. Ligers enjoy swimming which is a characteristic of tigers and are very sociable like lions.
 

Liger

 
The white ox is not common ox, white ox was born with albinism. Its coat, eyelashe, beard and nasal hair are all white. It is one of the rare animals in the nation, the number of white ox in China is no more than 20.
 
These 5 rare animals will stay in Zhongshan Park Zoo until 10th May 2010.
