Odense ZOO - Odense, Danmark - Zoos on Waymarking.com

Odense ZOO åbnede første gang Store Bededag 1930. Havens daværende direktør, Christian Jensen, havde i en årrække opdrættet fasaner, høns og duer i sin baghave. Interessen for hans dyr var meget stor, og han besluttede sig for at prøve at åbne en dyrehave, som det dengang blev kaldt. De første dyr i haven var to aber, en påfugl, et dådyr, et muldyr, et antal fugle samt nogle marsvin.
I 1933 omdannedes haven til et aktieselskab og kom nu til at hedde Odense Zoo.
I de sidste tyve år har haven udviklet sig meget. Der er blevet købt mere land, og store leveområder er blevet etableret f.ex et afrikansk flod- og savanne område.



Odense ZOO first opened Store Bededag 1930. For a number of years the garden's director, Christian Jensen, had farmed pheasants, chickens and pigeons in his backyard. The interest in his animals was very great and he decided to try to open a deergarden, as it was then called. The first animals in the garden were two monkeys, a peacock, a deer, a mule, a number of birds and some guinea pigs.
In 1933 transformed the garden into a limited company and came to be called the Odense Zoo.
In the last twenty years, the garden has evolved greatly. More land has been bought and large habitats have been established, eg an African river and savanna area.
