Borås djurpark

Borås djurpark, Zoo in Borås, Sweden.

Borås Djurpark covers 40 hectares in the northern part of central Borås. Its Savannen and Asiaten enclosures mix several species, and barriers are mostly level differences and water rather than fences. It keeps Sweden's only African bush elephants and about 500 animals of 80 species.

The zoo was established in 1962 by Sigvard Berggren, who brought home Simba the lion cub from one of his trips, marking the beginning of this wildlife park.

The zoo is a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria and takes part in nine of the roughly 130 breeding programmes run under the European Endangered Species Programme. Its cheetah breeding has been notably successful: in 2010 the female Luanga gave birth to a litter of eight cubs. That same year a flamingo chick hatched at the zoo for the first time in its history.

The zoo lies in the northern part of central Borås, within walking distance of the city centre. Next to the park are Folkets Park's indoor and outdoor dance stages, a minigolf course, an amusement park and the Alidebergsbadet outdoor pool. A large campsite with various activities runs along the Viskan river.

The zoo's first resident was Simba, a lion that Sigvard Berggren brought from Africa and that had appeared in Nils Poppe's 1959 film Lejon på stan. After Simba died he was donated to the Gothenburg Natural History Museum, where he stands mounted outside the mammal hall at the original entrance.
