Amersfoort Zoo - The Ancient City

A view over The Ancient City theme in Amersfoort Zoo, the Netherlands.
July 2008

This Ancient City theme is something that is at the very least interesting, informative and educational for zoo visitors.

It is indeed an interesting and unique theme being partly an old egyptian town and an old persian palace.

What’s the species lineup?

@Cat-Man From my 2018 visit I remember Siberian tiger, lion, spotted hyena, crested porcupine, black rat, North African Uromastyx/Mastigure, white-throated monitor, Egyptian fruit bat, spiny mouse, domestic donkeys and sheep, Hamadryas baboon, Barbary sheep, waldrapp, marabou stork and griffon vultures being housed in or near the Ancient City area.
