About this stone

This wildlife attraction is home to over 2,000 animals from around the world, drawing visitors to its beautiful hillside location. The most famous residents are the penguins, who participate in the renowned Penguin Parade—a beloved tradition dating back to the 1970s that features Sir Nils Olav, a king penguin who holds the honorary title of brigadier in the Norwegian army. Beyond the penguin encounter, the spot houses majestic Sumatran tigers and other endangered species, while playing an active role in global conservation efforts. The stone here awaits discovery near the tiger encounter area, nestled beneath stones as you exit.
