Few animals ??? I thought that was not so bad. Well, you sometimes have to search and the number of species may be less than in a zoo where they sit next to each other in 5x5 meter cages, but there were plenty of animals. Nice in their "natural" environment. And that environment is really beautifully made. Just like being on safari.
The problem is that it gets very busy quickly, and you do not want or cannot take enough time to 'search' the animals. Another problem that contributes to this is that there are indeed no signs with what kind of animals should be somewhere and where you can best see them.
But I think the whole zoo is worth it, as if you are on safari, and there you have no guarantee that you will see all the animals.

Tip: come as early as possible, then it is a bit quieter.
