I've been to Penang many times, but I have never been to the faous butterfly farm.
So, recently I decided to check it out. It is called "Entopia by Penang Butterfly Farm". Basically, as the name suggests, it is a huge butterfly sanctuary in Teluk Bahang, Penang.
The original farm was established in 1986 while the present incarnation opened to the public on 2 May, 2016.
Interesting facts from Entopia's website:
More than just a place to view butterflies, Entopia has a vision to help people reestablish connection with nature. The world's large-size vertebrates - the elephants, tigers and pandas - get the lion share of the attention, even though they represent just 3% of all animal species. In contrast, invertebrates such as butterflies constitute some 70% of animal species, but very few sanctuaries are devoted to celebrating them. Through Entopia, the voiceless and underappreciated invertebrates get to tell their stories.
Enjoy the video!
