The Lost Temple of Zios is a jungle-themed area in Jamaa and was one of the few original lands in Animal Jam. It has paths leading to Jamaa Township in the east, Crystal Sands in the southwest, and to the northwest, there's Sarepia Forest. It also connects to the Adventure Base Camp through a cave.
Appearance
This area has a misty green background with shadows of large tree trunks in the distance. There are several old, temple-like buildings made of carved stone. A giant tree with thick vines is growing on top of the building along the east side. There is a river flowing out from a cave and down to the south by the east side, along with other jungle-like features. In the middle of the land there's a statue of Zios, the creator of Jamaa. A stone path leads to the different buildings and the different areas.
Attractions
- Brady's Lab - This room is filled with an assortment of content that updates regularly. Brady's Expeditions is located here, a video adventure series in which Jammers can choose how Dr. Brady Barr should handle a situation with an animal and then see a video result of that choice. This room is also home to the mini-game Brady's Chemistry Set, which allows Jammers to play around with a very simple chemistry set. An achievement can be earned by mixing certain mixtures in a certain order. A doorway in the lab leads to Brady's Theater where Jammers can watch videos of Dr. Brady Barr talking about animals and answering questions sent in by Jammers.
- Chamber of Knowledge (Also known as the Chamber of Mysteries) - There are four floors in the Chamber of Knowledge. The main floor is a room that is decorated as a grand library with Minibooks for land, ocean, and flying animals as well as a Safety Quiz. The second room mostly contains armor, weaponry, and the busts of the six original Alphas, along with the mini-games Mira Says and Gem Ball. The third and top-most floor is the Mystery Emporium, a shop that sells den items. The Chamber of Knowledge also technically contains a basement, the Basement of Secrets, although this can only be accessed through a glitch.
- Zios Statue - In the middle of the clearing, there is a broken statue of Zios. When more than three Jammers are sleeping next to it, several Phantoms emerge from the cracks.
- Flowers Easter Egg - There are 4 flowers next to the game Sssssnake! When you click them they will get come forward, spin, and then change color from the standard white with purple center. The colors they change into are blue, pink, yellow, purple, plus the standard colors. Always, the flower has lighter petals with a darker center.
Shops

Trivia
The completed Journey Book page on Lost Temple of Zios
- Swoopy Eagle can only be reached by flying animals, as it sits high atop the Chamber of Knowledge.
- There are many controversial rumors claiming that if enough Jammers sleep next to the Zios statue, they will get a prize of some sort (much like the unbreakable ice in Mt. Shiveer), though this is not true.
- The broken statue of Zios was originally a Monkey Statue, but this changed when Beta Testing ended.
- On the World Map of Jamaa the Lost Temple of Zios shows up as simply the "Temple of Zios".
- Between the Sssssnake minigame and the Falling Phantoms sign, there is a small patch of four flowers. If the player clicks the flowers, the flowers will turn different colours; and if the flowers all become the same colour upon clicking them, the flowers will get a small star affect.
- If several Jammers sleep around the Zios Statue, a bunch of ghosts appeared, but if the Jammers did this during the Solar Eclipse, the ghosts would no longer appear.
