The entrance to Dublin Zoo in the Phoenix Park.

Dublin Zoo (Irish: Zú Átha Cliath), in Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland is the largest zoo in Ireland and one of Dublin's most popular attractions. Founded in 1830 it is the fourth oldest scientific zoo in the world, after Tiergarten Schönbrunn in Vienna, London Zoo, and the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Dublin Zoo receives over 500,000 visitors per year. The zoo describes its role as conservation, study, and education. Its stated mission is to “work in partnership with zoos world-wide to make a significant contribution to the conservation of the endangered species on Earth".

Conservation

The zoo is part of a worldwide program to breed endangered species. It is a member of the European Endangered Species Program (EEP), which helps the conservation of endangered species in Europe. Each species supervised by the EEP has a single coordinator who is responsible for the building of breeding groups with the aim of obtaining a genetically balanced population.

Dublin Zoo manages the EEP for the Golden Lion Tamarin and the Moluccan Cockatoo. It also houses members of the species Goeldi’s monkey and the white-faced Saki which are part of EEPs coordinated by other zoos. The focus is on conservation, which includes breeding and protecting endangered species, as well as research, study and education.

Rodrigues Fruit Bats

Rodrigues fruit bats are one of Dublin Zoo's endangered species. Fruit bats, as their name suggests, feed on fruit and because of that are very important to the rain forest. Bats cannot digest the seeds and pips of the fruit that they eat and so the seeds leave the bat's digestive system "wrapped" in fertilizer. Without bats many rain forest trees would not be able to sow their own seeds. A rainforest is a forested biome with high annual rainfall. ...

Dublin zoo is now building a larger Asian Elephant enclosure (complete with Asian rainforest) and the bat house has been demolished. The Rodrigues fruit bats are now in the bird house (located beside the Ring-tailed Lemurs). Binomial name Linnaeus, 1758 Asian Elephant range The Asian or Asiatic Elephant (Elephas maximus), sometimes known by the name of its nominate subspecies (the Indian Elephant), is one of the three living species of elephant, and the only living species of the genus Elephas. ...

Golden Lion Tamarins

This tiny monkey, named for its beautiful golden color and the long hair around its head which resembles a lion's mane, is one of the rarest primates in the world. Golden Lion Tamarins, like many of the other Tamarins found in South America, are threatened with extinction in their natural habitat. Dublin Zoo is involved in the international breeding program and helps to fund researchers who study the Tamarins in Brazil. South America South America is a continent crossed by the equator, with most of its area in the Southern Hemisphere. ...

The forests that Golden Lion Tamarins need in order to survive are cut down for timber and to make room for cattle ranches, farms and urbanization. Sometimes very small areas or 'pockets' of forest are left but these are too small for the Tamarins to survive in. In the past Tamarins were collected for sale to the pet trade or for use in research laboratories.The Golden lion tamarins are located in the South-American house. South America South America is a continent crossed by the equator, with most of its area in the Southern Hemisphere. ...

Molluccan Cockatoos

Dublin Zoo holds the European Studbook for this species. A studbook is a record of all the individuals of a particular species that are held in zoos in a region. It contains information such as the sex of the animal, how old it is and who its parents were. This information is then used to decide which birds should be paired with which to get the best genetic mix. This ensures that the captive population stays as genetically healthy as possible. Moluccan Cockatoos are handsome birds - their white-with-a-hint-of-pink feathers and the pink color on the crest makes them desirable as pets, which is why the Moluccan Cockatoo appears on the endangered species list. In biology, a species is one of the basic units of biodiversity. ... A breed registry, also known as a stud book, is an official list of animals within a specific breed whose parents are known. ...

Dear Member,

Early on the morning of Monday, 7th May, Bernhardine, one of our Asian elephants gave birth to a healthy female calf.

The birth took place in total darkness and was carefully monitered by the keepers via special CCTV cameras fitted with infared lights. CCTV can stand for: China Central Television Closed-circuit television This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ...

At 2.30am, a large swelling had appeared, inticating that the calf had moved into the birth canal. At 2.39am the calf emerged. Two minutes after the birth the calf could be seen moving and eight minutes after the birth the baby elephant stood upright. At 2.49am, the baby elephant took its first steps, much to the delight of zookeepers.

It was a comepletely natural birth, without any complications. We could observe the other elephants, Yasmin and Anak, offering their support to Bernhardine and taking great interest in the calf. We are all so delighted with the birth of our healthy baby elephant and there is a real buzz of exitement in the zoo as a result of the birth.

You will be able to see Bernhadineand her calf, and other elephants, Yasmin and Anak in early June when their purpose built Asian Elephant habitat, The Kazaringa Forest Trail is unveiled, and the calf is strong and healthy.

Leo Ooosterweghel Director of Dublin Zoo

One of the main features of the habitat is a man-made waterfall and lake.

One of the other elephants Yasmin is due to give birth next year. The zookeepers are hopeing for a female as males must leave the herd after a few years.

World of Primates

This houses apes and monkeys, and Western Low-land gorillas. The exhibit opened to the public in 1996. The area comprises a string of man-made islands in a natural lake. The islands range in size from 15 square metres to 30 square metres and are linked, with wooden bridges, to sleeping quarters on the lake shore. Type species Troglodytes gorilla Savage, 1847 distribution of Gorilla Species Gorilla gorilla Gorilla beringei The gorilla, the largest of the living primates, is a ground-dwelling omnivore that inhabits the forests of Africa. ...

Some of the islands have climbing frames. Areas of each island have been sectioned off with hot-wire to facilitate the growth of vegetation and give each island a more natural appearance. On some islands, areas of foraging substrate, such as bark, have been provided to facilitate scatter feeding. This form of enrichment has been shown to be important in increasing the behavioural repertoire of many species managed in captivity.

The provision of large viewing windows in the sleeping quarters give the public access to what is generally an off-show area in many zoos. However, there are areas where the animals can hide from the public.

These islands are inhabited by siamang gibbons, red ruffed lemurs, eastern colobus monkeys, spider monkeys, chimpanzees and Celebes macaques. Apart from the chimps, who are restricted to their sleeping quarters at night, each species have unlimited access to their outdoor enclosures both day and night. Genera Hylobates Hoolock Nomascus Symphalangus Gibbons are the small apes that are grouped in the family Hylobatidae. ... Binomial name Varecia rubra É. Geoffroy, 1812 The Red Ruffed Lemur (Varecia rubra) is one of two species of ruffed lemur, the other being the Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur (Varecia variegata). ... Species Colobus satanas Colobus angolensis Colobus polykomos Colobus vellerosus Colobus guereza Black-and-white colobus are the Old World monkeys which bear a striking resemblance to skunks. ... Type species Simia paniscus Linnaeus, 1758 Species Ateles paniscus Ateles belzebuth Ateles chamek Ateles hybridus Ateles marginatus Ateles fusciceps Ateles geoffroyi Spider monkeys are New World monkeys of the family Atelidae, subfamily Atelinae. ... Binomial name Macaca nigra (Desmarest, 1822) The Celebes Crested Macaque (Macaca nigra), also known as the Crested Black Macaque, Sulawesi Crested Macaque, or the Black Ape, is an Old World monkey that lives in the northeast of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi (Celebes) as well as on smaller neighboring islands. ...

The zoo has succeeded in breeding the primates on these islands. The Celebes macaque group have done exceptionally well since their introduction to the island, with 1.2.1 births since 1996. Success has also been achieved with the colobus, lemurs and siamangs.

World of Cats

Facilities for the display of snow leopards, lions and jaguars were out-dated, and it was decided that a new themed area would be the best option to meet international zoo standards. It would also increase the educational value of the area by facilitating comparisons of the cats' behaviours. The World of Cats exhibit opened in 1998. Binomial name Schreber, 1775 Range map Synonyms Panthera uncia The Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia[1] or Panthera uncia[3]), sometimes known as the Ounce, is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of central and southern Asia. ... For other uses, see Jaguar (disambiguation). ... Binomial name Felis catus Linnaeus, 1758 Synonyms Felis lybica invalid junior synonym The cat (or domestic cat, house cat) is a small carnivorous mammal. ...

The jaguar enclosure has an open top – containment is achieved through an overhang and hot wire. The outdoor enclosure is twice the size of their previous accommodation, and a separation pen has been constructed for breeding and introduction purposes. Natural substrates and shade are augmented by timber platforms linked by walkways and a pool.

The snow leopard enclosure has been designed to resemble their rocky natural habitat. Indeed, the snow leopards blend in so well with the granite background that the public spend much time trying to locate them. This has been turned to educational advantage with the use of interpretative graphics relating to the use of camouflage by predators. The grassy bank at the back of this long, linear enclosure is a shade area for the animals. The enclosure has significantly improved the welfare of the snow leopards and it augurs well for continued breeding successes. Three snow leopard cubs were born May 2006, two females and a male. Unfortunately, the male died soon afer.

A third large big cat enclosure is occupied by the African lions. However, in the long term, this area will provide a quality habitat for Sumatran tigers, and the vegetation in the area reflects this. A large pool and waterfall has been incorporated into the design. Raised areas give the animals views across the zoo lake.

Each enclosure in the World of Cats is furnished with pools, natural substrates and shade. The public can see the animals through large windows. Access has been provided for the public to the sleeping quarters of the felids, which, like the primate housing, is a departure from the normal stance of maintaining sleeping areas off-show.

City Farm

The City Farm and Pets’ Corner was completed in 1999. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the goats, donkeys, cows and pony which are housed in open-air paddocks. Rare farm breeds are maintained here, including the Kerry cow, the Galway sheep and the Kune Kune pig. Another popular animal is the turkey who sometimes attacks cameras.
