A painting at the Victoria Peak shows you the animals you may see in Hong Kong......
Giant Pandas
Chinese Central Government gives totally four pandas to Hong Kong's Ocean Park to remember Hong Kong's 1997 handover. They are An An, Jie Jie, Ying Ying and Le Le. Jie Jie is now 37-year old (111-year old human), which is the oldest panda in captivity.
Racing Horses
There are about 1500 thoroughbreds in the Sha Tin Race Course of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. They are all imported from the Western countries. They race between September and July. Like the students, they enjoy a long summer holiday.
Great Egrets
Great Egrets are Hong Kong's common resident birds. They catch fish at the river and wetland. You can see them at Hong Kong Wetland Park or Luk Keng Road Lookout Point. Another type of bird, the Little Egrets with the black beak, WON'T become the Great Egrets when they grow up.
Chinese White Dolphins
The unlucky Hong Kong is trying the best to save the endangered mascot, Chinese White Dolphin. They live near the northern part of Lantau Island, where there are lots of construction works.

大熊貓
中國中央政府總共把四隻大熊貓(安安、佳佳、盈盈、樂樂)送到香港的海洋公園以紀念香港回歸中國。佳佳現已三十七歲,為世上年齡最大的人工飼養大熊貓。
純種賽馬
在香港沙田馬場,有約一千五百隻純種賽馬,牠們是各育馬國家的「貴價出口貨品」。牠們在九月至七月馬季出戰大小賽事,然後像學生一樣,享受一個漫長暑假。
大白鷺
黃喙的大白鷺是香港常見的留鳥,在河涌和濕地捕食。有著黑喙的小白鷺和大白鷺並非同類,故「小」的長大後,不會變成「大」的!在香港濕地公園、鹿頸等地可見牠們的影蹤。
中華白海豚
香港正在努力保育香港的瀕危吉祥物 – 中華白海豚。牠們主要生活在有許多建築工程的大嶼山以北海域,故生存面臨重大威脅。
