This refers to watching and appreciating wildlife. The natural movements, postures, sounds, shapes and colours of animals are aesthetically appealing. These sites can involve activities such as sightseeing, fishing, hunting, nature games and scientific studies. Wildlife landscapes include all types of animals, from penguins, seals and polar bears at the poles to hippopotami and giraffes in equatorial Africa, the Tibetan antelopes in the Qinhai Tibetan Plateau, the pandas in Wolong, Sichuan, the snakes on Snake Island in Dalian and the monkeys of Monkey Mountain in Hainan. These animals form an attractive wildlife landscape tourism resource system.
