Royal Burgers' Zoo
Summary
Royal Burgers' Zoo (Koninklijke Burgers' Zoo) is a zoo in Arnhem, Netherlands, and is one of the biggest zoos in the country. Arnhem is a city that lies within the Veluwe, a nature park in the east of the Netherlands. The zoo is popular with both Dutch and German people, and receives about 1 million visitors annually. It was founded by Johan Burgers in 1913.
The zoo is a member of the Dutch Zoo Federation (NVD), the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA), the International Species Information System (ISIS), and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA).
The zoo has 8 theme sites called ecodisplays (ecological display):
Burgers' Safari (a safari park).
Burgers' Bush is a indoor tropical rainforest.
Burgers' Mangrove (a mangrove swamp). since July 2017: new 3,000 square meter mangrove hall
Burgers' Desert is a indoor desert (focusing on the Sonoran Desert).
Burgers' Ocean is a seawater aquarium. Two of the main tanks are the ocean with sharks and other fish, and the coral reef with tropical fish, living corals and other invertebrates.
Burgers' Rimba (opened in 2008). The Rimba gives visitors an impression of a Southeast Asian rainforest. The animals in this display include Sumatran tigers, sun bears, binturongs, golden-cheeked gibbons, dusky leaf monkeys, Sri Lankan leopards, golden jackals, banteng, muntjac, hog deer, Eld's deer, siamang, pig-tailed macaque, reticulated python, and water monitor.
Burgers' Zoo knows two larger playgrounds and a smaller one.
The two larger playgrounds are located next to each other and connected through the Park Restaurant.
Burgers' Avonturenland (the zoo's playground), opened in 2002).
Burgers' Kids Jungle (Indoor playground in the theme of a South-American village, opened in 2012)
Burgers’ Zoo has been successful enough in breeding fish and coral for their own aquarium that they can now help provide animals to other public aquariums. They use an artificial moon to stimulate sexual reproduction of corals in their reef, and also clone some 60 varieties.
