Kuwait Zoo
The Kuwait Zoo
It is a major attraction for both, the locals and tourists alike. The zoo is a very entertaining place and it is often visited by families. Located in Omariya, this sprawling animal kingdom covers an area of around 1, 80,000 sq meters. In 1990, the premises of this park were extensively damaged and animals were killed during the Iraqi invasion. Animals were also used for target practice and reports of injured animals, hobbling and bleeding, being left to slowly die of their injuries or starvation made news around the world.
Then it was rebuilt, restoration was done and many more new animals were brought in and the zoo was opened in February 1993. The Kuwait zoo is divided into four main areas, including animal section, cultural center, services and maintenance sector, life sciences division and veterinary clinic.
Overall the quality of sampling at zoo is exceptional and the maintenance of the zoo premises is splendid. As per official records, the park has almost 1800 species ranging from wild beasts, birds and reptiles.
