Melbourne Zoo

Zoos are very popular tourist attractions for people of all ages. They are places where people can see mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and insects from all parts of the globe. Many zoos have beautiful gardens and wide tree-lined paths that lead from one display to another. Australia has four major zoos as well as a number of wild life parks and native animal sanctuaries. One of the best-known zoos in Australia is the Melbourne Zoo situated close to the metropolitan area in leafy Royal Park. Established in 1857, on the banks of the Yarra River, Melbourne Zoo moved to its present site in 1862. It was the first zoo built in Australia and is one of the oldest zoos in the world.

The animal enclosures are set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens and some of the tamer animals, like ducks, geese, wallabies and emus are allowed to wander freely around the gardens. There have been many changes to the zoo during the last hundred years: the old iron-bar cages have been replaced by habitat exhibits which display animals from all over the world in as natural an environment as possible. Natural areas of tropical rain forest have been created to house the African gorillas and the endangered Sumatran tiger, while rocky desert areas have been developed for the ever-alert meerkats. However, modern zoos are not only about providing entertainment for tourists and visitors but also play a very important role in wildlife conservation and educating people about the need to protect endangered species and their environments. They do this through their carefully controlled breeding programmes.

Melbourne Zoo achieved worldwide fame in 1984 when it successfully bred baby gorilla Mzuri followed in 1991 by baby gorilla Buzandi. There are over 350 kinds of animals in the zoo and because it’s open every day of the year, there’s always something fascinating to see and do at the Melbourne Zoo.
