Description:
The zoo houses nearly two hundred species
of mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. The Arabian species in
the zoo include gazelle, caracal, foxes, wolves, hyaena, wild
cat, flamingo, cormorant, herons, gulls, eagles, buzzards,
vultures, snakes, skunks and lizards. Endangered species
like barbary sheep, water buck, Siberian and Bengal tigers,
Arabian wolves, hyaena, wild cats, scimitar-horned oryx,
gorilla and chimpanzee are some of the inmates taken care of
by the zoo authorities.
H. H. Sheikh Rashid bin Maktoum, the late Ruler of Dubai,
permitted Otto J. Bulart to build the Zoo on a two hectacre
plot in Jumeirah. The Dubai Zoo became a landmark as it
indicated the "town's end". During the first couple of
years of its existance, the Dubai Zoo housed only a few
animals like the big cats, monkeys and hoofed-animals. There
was also a small acquarium with some fishes and
reptiles. In 1971 the management of the Dubai Zoo was taken
over by the Dubai Municipality. From May 1986 to May 1989,
a part of the Zoo was redesigned and rebuilt. From June 1989
to the present there is constant re-designing and
renovation.
Dubai Zoo is ideally located in the lush green suburb of
Jumeirah. Probably, it is the greenest spot in this area
covered with a variety of trees.
