Animals in Israel
 
Israel's Biblical Zoo is located in Jerusalem on 62 acres of beautiful botanic gardens with a small lake and waterfalls. The main theme of the zoo is biblical animals, many of which can still be found today at zoos in Israel such as lions, bears, and crocodiles. Another theme of the zoo is the rescue of some of the world's endangered species, such as the macaw, ibis and the Asian elephant. There are more than 1,000 individual animals of 170 species at the zoo.
