Whipsnade Zoo
ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is a zoo located at Whipsnade, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire, England.
Originally the zoo was called Whipsnade Park Zoo, which was often shortened to Whipsnade
Zoo or even just Whipsnade. In 1988 the name was changed to Whipsnade Wild Animal Park,
but in March 2007 it was renamed ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.
It is owned by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), a charity devoted to the worldwide
conservation of animals and their habitats, and is a companion to ZSL London Zoo in Regents
Park, London.
Description
The park covers 600 acres (2.4 km2), and can be located from miles to the north and from the air
because of its large white lion hill figure carved into the side of the Dunstable Downs (part of the
Chiltern Hills) below the penguin and bison enclosures.
Due to its size, inside the park, visitors may walk, use the Zoo's bus service, or drive their own
cars between the various animal enclosures, or through an 'Asian' area where some animals are
allowed to roam free. There is also a narrow gauge train service.
ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is one of Europe's largest wildlife conservation parks. It is home to 6,405
animals, many of which are endangered in the wild. The majority of the animals are kept within
sizeable enclosures; others, such as the peacocks, the South American mara and Australian
wallabies, roam freely around the park.
History
The Zoological Society of London was founded in 1826 by Sir Stamford Raffles with the aim of
promoting the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats. To this end ZSL London
Zoo in Regents Park , London was established.
Almost 100 years later, Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell (ZSL Secretary 1903-1935) was inspired by
a visit to the Bronx Zoological Park to create a park in Britain as a conservation centre.
Hall Farm, a derelict farm on the Dunstable Downs, 30 miles to the north of London was
purchased by the Zoological Society of London in 1926 for £480 12s 10d. The site was fenced,
roads built and trees planted.
The first animals arrived at the park in 1928, including two Amherst pheasants, a golden
pheasant and five red jungle fowl. Others soon followed including muntjac, llama, wombats and
skunks.
Whipsnade Park Zoo opened on Sunday 23 May 1931. It was the first open zoo in Europe to be
easily accessible to the visiting public. It was an immediate success and received over 38,000
visitors on the following Monday. The brown bear enclosure is a surviving feature from the
earliest days of the zoo
The collection of animals was boosted in 1932 by the purchase of a collection from a defunct
travelling menagerie and some of the larger animals walked to the zoo from Dunstable station.
The distinctive white lion hill figure was completed in 1933.
During the Second World War the zoo acted as a refuge for animals evacuated from the Regents
Park London Zoo. The celebrity giant pandas Ming, Sung and Tang were among these animals
but were soon returned to London to boost morale in the capital. During 1940, 41 bombs fell on
the park with little damage to the zoo structure, however a 3 year old giraffe named Boxer, who
had been born at the zoo, was frightened to death by the explosions. Some of the ponds in the
park are the remains of bomb craters from this period.
Areas and attractions
Discovery Centre
The Discovery centre at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo acts as a Reptile House, Primate house and Insect
house. It houses crocodiles, leaf-cutter ants, small primates, and other reptiles and insects
Free-Roaming Animals
Currently the zoo has several free-roaming species of birds and mammals which include Indian
Peafowl, Prairie Marmots, Junglefowl (the wild relative of the domestic chicken), Chinese Water
Deer, Muntjac Deer, Wallabies and Mara.
Macaws, Cranes and Parrots were previously given the freedom of the park but are not at
present.
Developments
1996
A spacious new elephant house and paddock was opened to replace the architecturally
outstanding but cramped original elephant house designed by Lubetkin & Tecton in 1935. The
old house remains at the zoo as a Grade II listed building and its associated enclosure contains
the zoo lemurs.
2005-2006
In 2005 the zoo opened "Lions of the Serengeti" which presently has 3 African lions (1 male & 2
females) that bred 4 cubs early in 2006.
Two major new arrivals include the birth of an Asian rhino calf on New Year's Eve 2006 and an
Asian elephant calf on 19 January 2007.
2007
At Easter 2007, the zoo opened a new walk-through lemur enclosure. This was officially opened
on the 28th of March 2007 by Dominic Byrne from The Chris Moyles Show on Radio 1, who is
a regular visitor to the park.
On the 12th of June 2007 a new sealion pup was born, and has been named Dominic after the
above mentioned Dominic Byrne who is Berkeley's (Dominic the sealion's dad) biggest fan.
2008
In February 2008 Whipsnade welcomed the new "Rhinos of Nepal" exhibit, showcasing the
zoo's Greater One-horned Rhinos. It is designed to allow visitors a close view of the rhinos,
whilst allowing the rhinos to live in an environment which is both safe and comfortable, even
including indoor heated pools.[7]
Easter 2008 saw the opening of Cheetah Rock, which is focused around the ZSL's conservation
project in Tanzania. It includes large open viewing areas, natural surroundings and displays on
the conservation programme. The new exhibit can hold up to 9 cheetahs at one time, and it is
hoped that Whipsnade will be able to breed a rare subspecies soon.
In May 2008 the Sloth Bears from London Zoo moved into a previously built enclosure near the
Asian drivethrough area.
On the 26th of July 2008 the Cafe on the Lake reopened. Its name was changed to the Wild Bite
Cafe.
2009
In May 2009, William Windsor (known as Billy), a goat mascot of the British Army Royal
Welsh regiment, retired to the Zoo after eight years' distinguished service performing ceremonial
duties.
Daily Shows
Animal demonstrations and include 'Sea lion splash' and 'Birds of the world'.
A number of talks also take place daily throughout the summer season including lemur talks,
giraffe browse and penguin feed.
Funding
The park and ZSL receive no government funding, and rely mainly on entrance fees,
memberships, its 'Fellows' and 'Patrons' scheme and various corporate sponsorships. The park
takes advantage of the Gift Aid charity donation scheme.
Filming at the Zoo
Whipsnade was one of the sets for ITV's Primeval, where a ferocious predator from the future
kills a lion and 3 people.
Whipsnade is also one of the locations featured in BBC's Super Vets.
Jamie Oliver and Sainsburys have also used the zoo's background for a television advert.
The BBC's "Merlin" used parts of Whipsnade as a filming location for Season 1, and the famous
lion landmark is featured in Behind The Scenes footage from the DVDs.
Criticism
In 2002, a 20yr old elephant named Anna died three days after giving birth to a stillborn calf.
There was an allegation that the elephant suffered painful and unnecessary surgery during the
birth. The zoo asserted Anna's death was due to an infection related to the still birth and did not
'die in agony'.
Chimpanzee escape
In September 2007, two former 'tea party' chimpanzees named Koko and Jonnie, moved from
London Zoo to make way for The Gorilla Kingdom escaped from their enclosure. Koko followed
one of the keepers back to the enclosure but Jonnie started heading towards public grounds.
Jonnie was shot dead by the zoo's specially trained firearms squad for fears about public safety.
The Zoo has said that at no point were any members of the public in danger. When asked why
they did not use a tranquillizer instead ZSL spokeswoman Alice Henchley said "It's just standard
procedure, if the animal cannot be quickly and safely recaptured it will be shot. We can't be sure
with a tranquillizer ".
