If you observe the forest floor carefully, it is possible to spot Asian toads. Toads are fun to watch, and they are also useful when it comes to controlling the cockroach population.
There are more than 700 toads in the Asian Dome.
The gibbon family
At a big facility in the Asian dome, you can experience the gibbon couple and their two young. At dusk and at dawn, you can hear the couple sing a duet, serenading each other from tree to tree. Also, the gibbons have their very own way of getting around, swinging like pendulums through the canopy.
