Ragunan Zoo, Zoo in Jagakarsa, Indonesia.

Ragunan Zoo is a 140-hectare zoological park in Ragunan, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, Indonesia. It holds 2,288 animals of 335 species, including Sumatran elephants, gorillas and Komodo dragons. Near the entrance, two grey elephant sculptures with raised trunks stand on a stone platform beside a pelican pool; elsewhere, a dark metal ape statue with one arm raised sits on a skull-shaped pedestal above a fountain basin.

The founding dates back to 1864 when a Dutch flora and fauna organization opened the first facility in another part of the city. In 1966 the institution moved to the current site and became part of Jakarta city administration.

The name Ragunan comes from the kelurahan in Pasar Minggu where the zoo has stood since its 1966 opening; the earlier Cikini site became Taman Ismail Marzuki. The Schmutzer Primate Centre, opened in 2002 and named after Pauline Antoinette Schmutzer, who left it her estate, is privately funded and managed separately from the rest of the zoo. On Sundays the zoo runs pony cart and boat rides on Ragunan lake for children.

The paths are wide enough for strollers, and shade comes from tall trees scattered throughout the grounds. It works best to come early in the morning or late afternoon when temperatures cool down and animals become more active.

The Schmutzer Primate Centre within the grounds ranks among the largest facilities of its kind worldwide and displays great apes in naturalistic enclosures with tall trees and water features. Visitors can watch orangutans through glass panels as they climb and play, without bars blocking the view.
