Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The zoo, then called the Zoological Gardens Dublin, was opened on September 1 1831. The original animals, 46 mammals and 72 birds, were donated by London Zoo. In 1833 the entrance lodge to the Zoo was built for £30.00! In 1838 to celebrate Queen Victoria's coronation the zoo held an open day - 20,000 people visited, which is still the highest number of visitors in one day. In 1844 the zoo received its first giraffe . In 1855 bought its first pair of lions. These bred for the first time in 1857. Reptiles got their own house in 1876. People finally got somewhere to sit and have a cup of tea when the first tearooms were built in 1898. On June 17, 1903 an Elephant named Sita killed her keeper while he nursed her injured foot. She was put down by members of the Royal Irish Constabulary Times of trouble and war also caused problems for the Zoo. During the Easter Rising of 1916 getting out of Phoenix Park became difficult and meat ran out. In order to keep (carnivores) the lions and tigers alive, some of the other animals in the zoo were killed. A lion named Cairbre was born in the zoo on March 20, 1927. He went on to star as Leo, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studio's mascot in 1928. During World War II, coal was hard to come by so older trees were cut down and used to heat the tropical houses. There are still parts of the zoo that date back to the very beginning. |
