Hiking

Have you ever had lunch on a boat? In Pairi Daiza you can. The Mersus Emergo is an ancient whaling ship who has anchored in the eastern lagoon, seeking forgiveness for his sins: the bloody hunt for large cetaceans. You can admire the reptiles and amphibians that are cared for by the non-profit organization CARAPACE. (Source Website Pairi Daiza)

Hiking

The Mersus Emergo in Pairi Daiza is a unique attraction that offers visitors a fascinating insight into the world of reptiles and amphibians. It is a replica of a whaler and serves as a refuge for confiscated reptiles and amphibians. The Mersus Emergo is located in the Lagoon part of the zoo. Moreover, it is not only an exhibition space, but also the resting place for giraffes, pygmy hippos, sable antelopes and some primates that are presented around the ship. This makes the Mersus Emergo an intriguing and educational part of Pairi Daiza.
