Zoos, Circuses, Safaris: A Gallery of Captivity

[Spalea]

Hello, I have been living in the french part of the Switzerland for 24 years ago. 10.000 km2 and 1-1,2 million inhabitants, two cities counting more than 100.000 inhabitants Genf and Lausanne. But a lone zoo in the Vaud countryside, the Servion zoo, founded in 1975. With the help of a bank after a few well-managed years, they could acquire a couple of siberian tigers, then a couple of lions during the 1990s. Apart from these big felids, we can see some brown bears, wolves, cougar, but I believe this zoo is particularly famous as concerns the small monkeys of the South America continent (Tamarin monkeys).

Among the biggest animals: the European bisons.

No lion since 2017, year of the late lioness's death. But late tuesday a new young king, coming from the Erfurt zoo (Germany) is arrived. 18 months old and weighing soon 105 kilos. A lionness will follow in few weeks.
