Deer Park
Located in the undulating slopes and sprawling valley of the Lake
Gardens. The authorities have dedicated a spot known as the Kuala
Lumpur Deer Park to these gentle, intelligent creatures.
A well-chosen peaceful area that is more than 2ha in size has been
turned into a suitable habitat for the deer. It is interesting to
see hinds, does and fawns, representing some of the smaller species,
roaming freely in the sprawling valley.
Perhaps Malaysia most famous deer, the rainforest mousedeer or
kancil, can be seen here. The mousedeer is the world's smallest
hoofed animal and a popular figure in local folklore due to its
legendary wit.
The Deer Park is a beautiful spot where the landscaping has been
well thought out and lush trees and shrubs planted to ensure that
the habitat is cooling and peaceful. There are also ponds around
the park.
Visitors are allowed to mingle with these friendly and adorable
deers. Much to visitor's delight, these friendly deer will usually
come close to be fed as you watch them.
Open: 9am - 6pm (Daily)
