Brazzaville Zoo

The Brazzaville Zoo (French: Le parc zoologique et botanique de Brazzaville) is a zoo located in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo. It has been in existence since at least 1944, as this is the most widely accepted date of assembly. They are known to be a very unsanitary zoo, and have extremely low animal rights ratings, although this is common across zoos in Africa. They house a number of species including crocodiles, deer, bongos, foxes, leopards, reptiles and numerous primates including chimpanzees and gorillas and (Old World monkeys. During the Congolese Civil War, many animals were evacuated from the zoo to numerous zoos, sanctuaries, and preserves across Central Africa.
