ZSL London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo. It was opened in
London on April 27, 1828, and was originally intended to be used as a
collection for scientific study. It was eventually opened to the public
in 1847.[3] Today it houses a collection of 755 species of animals, with
15,104 individuals, making it one of the largest collections in the
United Kingdom.
It is managed under the aegis of the Zoological Society of London
(established in 1826), and is situated at the northern edge of Regent's
Park (the Regent's Canal runs through it). The Society also has a more
spacious site at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire to which the larger
animals such as elephants and rhinos have been moved. As well as being
the first scientific zoo, ZSL London Zoo also opened the first Reptile
house (1849), first public Aquarium (1853) first insect house (1881) and
the first children's zoo (1938).
ZSL receives no state funding and relies on 'Fellows', 'Friends',
'Members', entrance fees and sponsorship to generate income.
It is sometimes called Regent's Zoo.
