Randers Tropical Zoo (Danish: Randers Regnskov) is an indoor zoo in Randers, Denmark. It is located in three big domes, with the biomes of Africa, Asia, and South America. The domes contain animals from the biomes, and most of the animals live freely in the domes. The climate inside the domes is controlled by computers because the length of daylight hours varies much more in Denmark than in tropical latitudes.[citation needed]
