Paramaribo Zoo

Prime-minister Pengel privately kept many animals in his garden. When he added lions to his collection in 1966, he thought it would be better to share the animals in a zoo. Except for the tigers, all the animals are native to Suriname. In April 2020, a water park for children was constructed in the park, and then the COVID-19 pandemic started. In February 2021, the zoo reopened, but is in serious financial problems. The collection of the zoo includes several species of monkeys, caymans, a jaguar, snakes, vultures, a tiger, and scarlet ibisses. ==Gallery==
