Jungle Habitat is one of the first big zoos to be established in NJ. It almost could be considered a precursor to Great Adventure's Safari, since it was owned by Warner Brothers, the same folks that own Six Flags.
The park opened in summer 1972, and within a few months was the subject of controversy as a tourist was mauled by lions after opening his car window, and local residents reported animals that had escaped. There were also reports of animal mistreatment and after 4 years, the park closed.

Roger Williams Park Zoo
AlbinoFlea (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: AlbinoFlea.
From www.rogerwilliamsparkzoo.org:
In 1871, Betsey Williams bequeathed her 102-acre farm to the City of Providence for public use in memory of her illustrious ancestor, Roger Williams, the founder of Providence. At the time, Providence had little open public space, and there was a growing desire to establish places where people could enjoy nature and escape the daily pressures of urban life.
In 1872, a "menagerie" of small animals and birds was brought to a section of the park so visitors could get a closer look at wildlife. Raccoons, guinea pigs, white mice, squirrels, rabbits, hawks, peacocks and anteaters were on display. This led to the official designation of this portion of Roger Williams Park as a "zoo." Roger Williams Park Zoo was the third zoo to open in the United States.
In the beginning, Roger Williams Park included little more than the present zoo grounds and Betsey's Cottage. Providence acquired land from Cranston and in 1878 approved a comprehensive plan designed by renowned landscape architect, Horace Cleveland. In 1883, massive work projects began to develop the Park as we know it today.
The Menagerie building opened in 1890, exhibiting a wide variety of exotic creatures including a tiger, a leopard and a pair of lions. This building, later converted to a bird house, is today the beautifully restored gift shop.
The stable, nicknamed The Barn, was for many years home to the park's workhorses. Renovated and renamed in 1986, the Sophie Danforth Center is home to the zoo's administrative offices, veterinary hospital and the Rhode Island Zoological Society. Both the Menagerie and Danforth Center are on the National Register of Historic Places.
From the Cranston Public Library Collection
An elephant barn was built in 1930, the year that Alice, the Zoo's most famous resident, arrived. A series of "Alices" followed after 1967 when the first Alice died. Today, you can find the current Alice in the Plains of Africa exhibit, with her two companions, Kate and Ginny. The elephant barn, now called the Tropical America building, is the home of Rhode Island's only rain forest.
From its menagerie start, the zoo spread out over the entire park. By the 1960s the zoo consisted of a number of animals exhibited in different areas throughout the Park. Bison, deer, and bears were housed on the hill across from the Dalrymple Boathouse and sea lions swam in the pool below the Casino. As mentioned above the elephants, birds and farm animals were located on the present -- but at that time unenclosed -- zoo grounds. This layout was spacious and beautiful, but it presented care, feeding, and security problems.
The 1960s brought changes to Roger Williams Park and Zoo. In 1962 Sophie Danforth founded the Rhode Island Zoological Society, as a nonprofit organization that provides financial and managerial support to the zoo. In 1965, all the animals were moved inside a newly-fenced compound -- this centralization greatly improved security, maintenance, and husbandry conditions.
In 1978, the zoo closed to embark upon a two-year upgrade project. 1980 marked the rebirth of the zoo; it reopened with a new Nature Center, a Polar bear exhibit, a boardwalk through a native wetlands area and a North American bison exhibit. And as they say, the rest is history. The current, vibrant state of Roger Williams Park Zoo is due to the hard work, persistence, and cooperation of both public and private sector, as well as the general public, for whom this zoo exists.

Shambala game preserve
Shambala is maintained by the Roar Foundation, founded by actress Tippi Hedren in 1983 as a 501(C)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization . Shambala cares for endangered exotic big cats such as African lions, Siberian tigers and Bengal tigers, leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, plus a lynx, and a Florida panther.
The site was originally that of Africa, U.S.A.
The first Africa U.S.A. in California was created in 1962 as a 600-acre affection training compound by Ralph and Toni Helfer. It was located in Soledad Canyon near Los Angeles.
Ivan Tors first discovered Clarence, the cross-eyed lion, at Africa, U.S.A. and it inspired him to create the film Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion (1965) and the spin-off television series Daktari, which was partly shot on location there. Judy, the chimp and other star of the show, was also owned by Ralph Helfer.
A few other shows such as Cowboy in Africa, Gentle Ben, as well as an episode of Star Trek "Shore Leave" were also shot there. Helfer was providing both the location and the animals.
In January 1969, Africa U.S.A. was struck by a powerful storm over Soledad Canyon, which dropped large amounts of rainfall. The resulting severe flooding and mudslides in the canyons destroyed the compound, but only 9 of Helfer's 1,500 animals had drowned.
In 1987 the property was purchased and restored by actress Tippi Hedren and is now called Shambala Preserve.

alfjon (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: alfjon.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Riber Castle is situated in the hamlet of Riber on a hill overlooking Matlock, Derbyshire. It was built by John Smedley in 1862 as his private home.
It is currently in disrepair, although there are plans to turn the shell into apartments which received planning consent in early 2006.
It is built of gritstone from a local quarry (Derbyshire is well-known for its quarrying) which was pulled up the 200-metre hill by a series of pulleys.
From the 1960s to September 2000 it was home to a wildlife park which included exhibits of British and European fauna. "Riber Zoo", as it was known, eventually shut due to much criticism of the conditions of the animals it was housing.
The castle, and the town of Matlock featured strongly in the Shane Meadows film Dead Man's Shoes.

Knowsley Safari Park
Hinkkanen (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Hinkkanen.
Knowsley Safari Park is a tourist attraction in the town of Prescot, in the borough of Knowsley near Liverpool. Situated on the famous estate of Lord Derby, the vast reserve is home to several different animals including elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers and baboons. The Derby Estate have a tradition of keeping animals, ever since the famous artist and nonsense-poet Edward Lear was employed there in the 19th century to paint pictures of the Earl's collection. Nowadays it is open to the public, who are free to take a bus tour or to drive around the park themselves.
The baboons in particular have attracted attention for their loutish behaviour. Spoof TV presenter Alan Partridge remarked of monkeys that "if you’ve been to Knowsley Safari Park and they’re pulling the wipers off your windscreen and nicking your hub caps, you lose sympathy." Never a truer word was spoken.

John Ball Park Zoo
freezout (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: freezout.
The original 40 acres of the park was donated to the city of Grand Rapids by noted pioneer and explorer John Ball upon his death in 1884.
In 1842 he was appointed by Governor of Michigan Barry, to select 300,000 acres (1,200 km²) of the 500,000 acres (2,000 km²) of land granted to Michigan by Congress for internal improvements. These were mainly selected about Grand Rapids and were mostly taken up with internal improvement warrants, and as these warrants could be bought for about forty cents on the dollar, it resulted in a speedy settlement of the Grand River Valley. Mr. Ball was largely identified with Grand Rapids interests. He was interested in schools, geology, lyceums and all local enterprises; he provided the first written account of the geology of Oregon.
