Exotic Animal World, formerly Butterfly World, is a zoo in Klapmuts, South Africa. The zoo was founded by Esther van der Westhuizen under the name Butterfly World in November 1996.[1] It was originally called Butterfly World, but due to the Coronavirus pandemic, it became impossible to continue importing butterfly pupae and so it was renamed to Exotic Animal World.[2] The zoo is home to a variety of exotic animals, such as spiders, snakes, monkeys, meerkats, scorpions, many species of birds and much more. In March 2023, a fire destroyed the care centre of the zoo. The adjacent enclosures were unaffected by the fire, and the birds and animals in them were unharmed; however, the centre's infrastructure was severely damaged.[3][4]
