Jersey Zoological Park, Jersey

Louve

Displayed: times.

The Jersey Zoological Park was founded in 1959 by naturalist and author Gerald Durrell (1925-1995) to protect endangered animals. It was primarily devoted to keeping and breeding endangered species, especially island forms and small mammals and reptiles. Despite a lack on emphasis on large, crowd-pleasing animals, and its relatively out-of-the-way location, the zoo reports more than a quarter-million visitors annually. The zoo is located at Les Augres Manor, Trinity, Jersey, 5 miles north of Saint Helier. Its area is 25 acre.
