Jersey Zoo

JERSEY ZOO’S VISITORS call it the “zoo that’s not a zoo”.  It aims to save wild animals from extinction, in the memory of its famous founder – the writer and conservationist Gerald Durrell.  

Scientists can work with the animals up close and learn what they need to maintain good health, breed, survive and thrive in their natural habitats.    

Wherever possible the animals live in specially landscaped, spacious enclosures which closely resemble their natural homes – that way visitors can see them behaving just like they would in the wild.
