Pakawi Park is a zoo in the Belgian village Olmen, which is part of the town of Balen.
The park was in a poor state, due to mismanagement of Roothooft, cages were not adapted to the animal needs and the number of customers was too low to make sufficient profits.
[citation needed] On 11 October 2017, the zoo lost its license and was closed, due to animal welfare violations.
[3] The zoo is specialized in felidae: African lions, white tigers, black leopards, Eurasian lynx, Servals, and cougars.
The zoo has of course other animals such as simian, rodents, small mammals, deer, snakes and bears.
