History about Auckland Zoo
The beautiful Auckland Zoo opened in the year 1922. In the earlier phases, the zoo experienced difficulties due to animal health issues.

The zoo attained consolidation during the time of World War II and came under the leadership of Lt. Col. Sawer. The collection of the animals expanded after the war got done with. The zoo started acquiring chimpanzees by the 1950s which ceased eventually by the year 1964. The Western Springs Park that was situated adjacent to the zoo also got acquired and became a part of the zoo in the year 1973.

This section exhibits New Zealand’s native flora and fauna. That’s how the zoo has evolved over the ages since the time of its inception.
