jerusalem biblical zoo

Spreading over 62 acres, the two-tiered park centers on a vast man-made lake complete with waterfalls and side pools, surrounded by spacious lawns and shaded beauty spots. On view - over 170 species, most of them mentioned in the Bible and some almost made extinct in the interim. This does not mean that regular animals are not present: they even have penguins here. A children´s zoo includes a petting corner and a playground with an adjacent snack bar for watchful parents.
