The Kangaroo House is one of the two smaller pavilions enclosing the little square in front of the Monkey House. Similar to the House of Small Rodents, it has a shingle roof.

The Deer House resembles the wooden houses of by-gone years on the slopes of the Transylvanian Alps, including the traditional cellular plan-form of the Kalotaszeg/Tara Cälatei region.

Of the pavilions designed by Kós and Zrumeczky reminiscent of the architecture of distant exotic cultures, the Giraffe House stands out as the most significant.
