Four greenhouses present birds, great apes, sloths, reptiles, manatees and Australasian animals, while three plains present herbivores of the African savannah (like giraffes, white rhinos and antelope), African elephants and Asian herbivores (such as Indian rhinos and Malayan tapirs).

Other facilities in the park are the Chinese zone called "On China Heights", the African swamp called "The Hippos' Reserve", the sea lion basin presenting "The Sea Lions' Odyssey" and the outdoor theatre presenting a free-flight bird show entitled "Masters of Airs".

In the early 1970s, Françoise Lajunias Dite Delord (1940–2021), a former student at the Paris Conservatory of Dramatic Art and presenter of performances at the Bobino music hall, received as a gift - at the Salon de l'Enfance, with a subscription to a children's newspaper - a pair of African silverbill, a species of African passerine.

Shortly after, having acquired for them a bird cage on the Quai de la Mégisserie where she clicked, she returned there to get two grey Zebra finch, then two white.

In 1980, faced with the impossibility of housing them all in Paris, she moved with her husband, the conjurer Jacques Delord, and their two children, Delphine and Rodolphe, to Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher, where she opened a bird park in a place called Beauval, on either side of a small tributary of the Cher, le Traine-Feuilles.

Although they are not the first white tigers to be presented in Europe, they were unique in France at the time of their arrival in Beauval, which made the zoo known and attract many visitors.

In 1993, a vivarium was opened in the greenhouse of the great apes and received around a hundred snakes and Nile crocodiles, observable underwater thanks to a large aqua-terrarium.

The zoo welcomed Asian otters, red pandas and raccoons whose enclosures are decorated with tackle and underwater viewing pools.

In 1999, the park welcomed a couple of white lions and created an African plain in which 80 animals of several species are presented, including springbok, sable antelope, blue wildebeest, Grévy's zebras, giraffes, ostriches, Egyptian goose or marabouts.

With Chile, he forms the second breeding pair of Beauval white tigers, replacing Gorby and Raïssa, then at the end of their life.

In 2006, the zoo welcomed Somali wild ass, East Javan langur and Clouded leopard and a piranha pool was created in the gorilla and manatee greenhouse.

In 2010, a 1.5-hectare Asian plain was created, with Malayan tapirs, Indian rhinoceros, muntjacs, white-naped cranes, chitals, blackbucks, nilgais and fishing cats installed there.

In 2011, a new area of almost three hectares called "Sur les hauteurs de Chine" opens, with takins, snow leopards, red pandas, northern plains gray langurs and Steller's sea eagles.

Separated from the visitors by gravel ditches, thirteen species of animals live together here, including giraffes, white rhinoceroses, Grevy's zebras, wildebeest, ostriches, Egyptian geese, springbok, lechwe and reedbuck.

At the beginning of this house is a vivarium, home to one hundred snakes, as well as turtles and American alligator that can be observed underwater.

Leading on from the Bassin le Lamantins, the Gorilla Complex is a huge 11-meter-tall greenhouse, home to free-flying ducks and birds such as toucans.

A collection of four smaller enclosures near the Gorilla Complex is home to four different species, which are the groups of otters, red pandas, raccoon and Barbary macaques.

Opened in 2016, this exhibit is extensive, home to a small pod of hippopotamus, as well as a herd of nyala and red river hog.

Soon to arrive at the dome is the Red-shanked douc langur, a species only found in one zoo in Europe and nowhere in North America.
