Presentation
The Fauverie du Mont Faron is not a conventional zoo, but a carnivore breeding center specializing in felines that are critically endangered: tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars, ocelots, servals, caracals, lynx, Siberian cats, and marsh cats—as well as wolves, brown and striped hyenas, raccoons, and hamadryas baboons—await you for a visit lasting over an hour.
