Description:
The
zoo houses nearly two hundred species of mammals,
birds, reptiles and fish. The Arabian species in
the zoo include gazelle, caracal, foxes, wolves,
hyaena, wild cat, flamingo, cormorant, herons,
gulls, eagles, buzzards, vultures, snakes, skunks
and lizards.
Endangered species like barbary
sheep, water buck, Siberian and Bengal tigers,
Arabian wolves, hyaena, wild cats, scimitar-horned
oryx, gorilla and chimpanzee are some of the
inmates taken care of by the zoo
authorities.
H. H. Sheikh Rashid bin
Maktoum, the late Ruler of Dubai, permitted Otto
J. Bulart to build the Zoo on a two hectacre plot
in Jumeirah.
The Dubai Zoo became a landmark as
it indicated the "town's end".
During the first
couple of years of its existance, the Dubai Zoo
housed only a few animals like the big cats,
monkeys and hoofed-animals. There was also a small
acquarium with some fishes and reptiles.
In
1971 the management of the Dubai Zoo was taken
over by the Dubai Municipality.
From May 1986
to May 1989, a part of the Zoo was redesigned and
rebuilt. From June 1989 to the present there is
constant re-designing and renovation.
Dubai Zoo is ideally
located in the lush green suburb of Jumeirah.
Probably, it is the greenest spot in this area
covered with a variety of
trees.
