Bristol Zoo is closing its doors after 186 years of operationas his guests prepare to move to a new place.
The zoo opened in the Clifton suburb of the city of England in 1836 and is the fifth oldest in the world.
Many of its buildings are from the Victorian era, such as its entrance, the old giraffe house and the monkey temple.
Bristol Zoological Society, which runs the zoo, decided to close it following financial pressures caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
It is now channeling its resources into its premises in south Gloucestershire, BristolLive reports.
The grounds there were not open for visits and were only used for breeding and quarantining the animals.
Although animal rights activists point out that keeping animals in zoos is torture, the closure of the historic Bristol Zoo, whose gates 90 million visitors have passedhas upset many citizens.
Some of the zoo’s rarest animals in need of conservation, reptiles, amphibians, birds and gorillas will join Bristol Zoological Society’s The Wild Place Project in Gloucestershire.
New zoo in Bristol is due to open in 2024 and The Wild Place Project will be open for visits while it is being built.
