In 1940 it was decided to allocate an area of about 10 hectares of a wildlife park, which would gather different animal species. Including elephants and reptiles, in addition to a large cage for birds of prey. After the end of the war, in October 1949, the zoo in Naples was finally opened to the public. Since the early years of the zoo has been internationally marked by outstanding achievements by the presence and breeding of rare species of African ungulates, such as pope vulture, black rhinoceros, wild dogs and many other animals that you can see, learn about and explore their habitat.
