Quinta Pedagógica dos Olivais
Official site
Zoological Garden – A collection of wild animals placed for the purpose of their display, study, preservation of the gene pool and reproduction of rare and endangered animal species. Zoos can be called by many different names, depending on where in the world they are located. Some call them a “collection of wild animals”. They can be called a “zoological garden”. Some zoos simply use the generic term “zoo”. Whatever the name, the general purpose of the facility is the same. Animals are kept in captivity and visitors come to the place to see them. Zoos often contain animals that would not normally be driven locally. You can find lions, tigers, wolves, bears, giraffes, monkeys, elephants and many others. Each setting is a little different.
