Although the Menagerie only has two felines in total, the Chinese panther and the long-haired panther, you can attend the feeding of these two residents from the other side of the world, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from March 1, 2023. The feeding of these wild animals, cousins of our domestic cats, always takes place at the same time, in the evening, around half an hour before the Menagerie closes (at 5:30 p.m.), and directly in the fauverie of the Jardin des Plantes.

The whole family will be able to find out what these carnivorous big cats eat, and how much they eat... And you'll have the chance to ask any questions you may have to the caretakers, who will be on hand to mediate with young and old alike! So, if you're visiting the Jardin des Plantes Menagerie, don't miss this opportunity to meet the felines up close!
