Penguins, eagles and wolves

Nyíregyháza is the first place in Hungary where you can check out the magnificent king penguins. Additionally, there are two more penguin species in Nyíregyháza: the emperor penguin and the Humboldt penguin.
In the outer space, you may check out the Arctic animals of Alaska and Siberia. You can meet there with a bald eagle and a Steller’s sea eagle, the largest of its kind. There are Arctic wolves and South American sea lions, and you can also try out the so-called climate chamber with temperatures around the freezing point.
