ok, let me brief you a little bit about the ZOO NEGARA (National zoo)

 Zoo Negara (National Zoo) is a major zoological park in Malaysia located on 110 acres of land in Ulu Klang, near Taman Melawati on the north-east of Kuala Lumpur. It is only 5km from the city of Kuala Lumpur. It was officially opened on November 14, 1963. Zoo Negara is the first national zoo in Malaysia. The Zoo Negara, once set in virgin jungle, now stands like an oasis amidst a concrete jungle. Over the years, the zoo has transformed itself to an open concept zoo with over 90% of its animals kept in spacious exhibits with landscape befitting its nature. They are working in making sure that the old zoo concept is changed entirely.
 Zoo Negara Malaysia is managed by the Malaysian Zoological Society, a non-governmental organization established to create the first local zoo for Malaysians. Zoo Negara is now has matured into a well-known zoo all around the world. It has a total of over 5137 animals from 459 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish from all over the world. A high percentage of the animals here are local, therefore, a visit to Zoo Negara will be informative for tourists keen to know more about the indigenous animal life in Malaysia. The zoo also has the Tunku Abdul Rahman Aquarium which displays more than 130 species of aquatic animals, both marine and freshwater, including invertebrates. Besides showcasing the animals, the zoo emphasized on these four main areas – Conservation, Education, Research and Recreation. The zoo is a valuable resource for all visitors from within Malaysia and overseas.

 THE HISTORY OF ZOO NEGARA


Zoo Negara or the National Zoo was established by founder and first Chairman of MZS, Mr. V.M Hutson (Later known as Tan Sri V.M. Hutson). In the early 1950s, Mr Hutson, an animal lover, took into his care animals that were abandoned or injured by illegal trappings. He housed them in his 5 acre garden at the Bangsar Estate (now known as Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur). Every weekend, large numbers of people drove out to the 3rd mile, Jalan Damansara where Mr. Hutson lived, and walked around his garden viewing these animals. In the collection was an Indo-chinese Tiger named Nikky, three Orang Utans nemed Jacko, Suzan and Jane together with six Estuarine Crocodiles. This collection formed the nucleus for Zoo Negara.
In 1957, the Malayan Agri-Horticultural Association (MAHA) opened a miniature zoo. After the creation of the mini-zoo, the idea of proper zoo was mooted in the public. As the idea gained momentum, the federal government chosen a spot in Ulu Klang, Selangor which is right beside the border of Kuala Lumpur. In the 1960s, Ulu Klang was an undeveloped green area. Zoo Negara was officially opened to public on November 14, 1963 at its current location by Y.T.M Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first Prime Minister of Malaysia. Zoo Negara was then known as the “Zoo in the Jungle” due to the greenery that surrounded the area.
The zoo welcomed its millionth visitor on February 14, 1966.
