The World’s Most Bizarre Zoos You Have To See!

Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo Gardens

Featuring wildlife from the Hebrew Bible, Jerusalem’s “Biblical Zoo,” as it referred to as, is one of the largest parks in all of Israel. Originally the “animal corner” on Aharon Shulov’s Rabbi Kook Street, the zoology professor began to gather animals that were mentioned in the bible for his students to research.

However, due to the high rate of extinct animals mentioned in the Bible, it was not always smooth sailing for the professor, as well as receiving complaints from the neighborhood. After relocating the animals and benefiting from the help of the Jerusalem Foundation, the Tisch Family Zoological Gardens is now spread across 62 acres of beautiful land and houses over 2,200 animals both from the Biblical references, as well as endangered species.
