Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park and its collection

Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park, opened in 1974, is a zoo in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

The city council owns and manages the park, which takes part in EEP captive breeding for endangered animals and runs talks and campaigns on biodiversity.

History

The Dudley Zoological Society opened it on 1 May 1964 inside Cannon Hill Park, on ground that once belonged to Pebble Mill, a fulling mill of the sixteenth century. It was intended mainly for young animals, but also held Dudley Zoo's monkeys and two dromedaries used for rides.

Animals and collection

Animals on show include Red Pandas, lemurs, reptiles, meerkats and otters.
