Knowsley Safari Park, Wildlife park in Prescot, England
The 550-acre Knowsley Safari Park contains over 700 animals across multiple zones, including African elephants, Amur tigers, tapirs, and numerous species of primates.
The park opened in July 1971 through a collaboration between Edward Stanley, the 18th Earl of Derby, and Jimmy Chipperfield, with Laurence Tennant as general manager.
The park maintains partnerships with universities in Liverpool, Chester, and Manchester for scientific research and participates in European zoo association conservation programs.
Visitors can experience both a 3.5-mile Safari Drive through animal enclosures in their vehicles and a separate Foot Safari section for closer observation.
The resident baboon population demonstrated their intelligence by learning to systematically open car roof boxes, gaining international media coverage in 2009.
