Qinliangfeng in Hangzhou is home to the adorable and newly described Eastern Forest Hedgehog, as well as Hog Badgers, Chinese Hare and some interesting small mammals among many other species.

In Nanjing, Yangtze finless porpoises play in the river. Raccoon dogs, Asian badgers and Oriental storks can also be seen here.
