The Zoológico Miguél Álvarez del Toro (ZOOMAT) is a Mexican zoo located in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas.
In 1949 the zoo changed its location, moving to the east of the city, in the area known as Park Madero.
It was built on an area of 5 hectares where it remained little more than 30 years, despite its small installations (and even rustic) assembled an important collection of fauna of Chiapas, beginning to acquire a reputation for the originality of its design, exhibitions and the important work of Miguel Álvarez del Toro as a researcher and advocate for the state's natural resources.
The tour takes place on roads where there are only species of the regional fauna: resplendent quetzals, scarlet macaws, Baird's tapirs, white-tailed deer, jaguars, pumas, ocelots, neotropical otters, Mexican spider monkeys, a reptile house, three species of crocodilian (American crocodiles, Morelet's crocodiles and spectacled caimans), turtles and an insect house.
The breeding program aims to release individuals into the neighboring El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve.
