It was founded and owned by the French entomologist and naturalist André Peyriéras, [1] [2] [3] which is why it is also known as the Reserve Peyrieras.

The collection includes many reptiles (chameleons, iguanas, geckos, frogs), batraciens (amphibians), crocodiles and papillons (butterflies). The adjacent forest area supports families of relocated and habituated Verreaux's sifaka and common brown lemur which provide opportunities to photograph them close up at feeding times.[1]

Most of the reptiles and other species are held within several large caged buildings and greenhouses, which tourists may enter when accompanied by a guide. A group of Coquerel's sifaka return daily to be fed and to aid photography by the tourists.[4]

gollark: I would hope you don't actually combine the no-english with the claimed stricter enforcement, given that people like discussing Toki Pona and such.
gollark: Ubq apparently considers it quite funny that it has specific examples for advertising but not inciting racial hatred or something.
gollark: Having an overly broad harshly punished rule and then selectively enforcing it is worse than a narrower rule which might not cover some cases, except we have never actually had advertising issues not covered already.
gollark: This is excessive though.
gollark: This is not clear or coherent. "Palaiologos arbitrarily bans you for links they dislike" is not a good rule because rules should be consistently applied so you can predict the results of things.
