Animals from all around the world call Tel Aviv's zoo home and offer residents and visitors alike an exciting day of exploration. With over 1,300 specimens of 230 species at its disposal, the zoo was built for families and education in the year 1940 with the intention of providing educational and leisure opportunities for those living near or visiting this vibrant Israeli city.
The zoo features a wide range of species, with general areas devoted to mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and other aquatic creatures. You can also find large collections that represent several geographical regions including Africa, Asia and Australasia. There are several interactive fun activities to enjoy both inside and outside the enclosures like train rides around animal habitats as well as special performances by actors enacting stories about animals.
The design of Tel Aviv's Zoo is based on Professor Solly Charlap’s vision that educates through natural forms: each exhibit contains formations designed in such a way that it resembles their native habitat according to their geographical region - characterized by rocks in Asian exhibits or trees in African ones On top of this educational aspect is added vegetation appropriate for different climates – from palm trees indicative of warmer locations like Africa or Australia to evergreens synonymous with cold countries like Siberia.
Tel Aviv’s Zoo actively promotes conservation programs dedicated not only to endangered species but also cultures through various cultural events that use movement as a medium; such shows help expand knowledge facts about different places where some animals are found giving more context on why caring for these creatures is essential. For example Wildlife Club Israeli kids learn how endangered animal thrive, values inherent in Israeli culture.
