The park is the home of 1,000 animals belonging to 120 different species, including mammals, birds and reptiles. Le Cornelles has besides the largest aviary in Italy, called "Selva Tropicale", it's an area of 7,000 m2, closed by a grid placed on high poles to prevent the flight of birds, which live in a state of semi-freedom.
