Junsele Zoo, Animal park in Junsele District, Sweden

Junsele Zoo is an animal facility in northern Sweden housing around 25 species such as tigers, lynxes, lemurs, and meerkats in specialized habitats. The grounds display different environments suited to each animal type.

Junsele Zoo began in the early 1960s on a small scale, run by the sports club Junsele IF; Johannes "Kebbe" Johansson was the driving force. The first animals, a pony and a roe deer, arrived in 1959, and the zoo was inaugurated in 1965. Junsele municipality bought it in 1969 and ran it until 1992. After the Äventyrsberget company went bankrupt in 2008, former employee Ulf Henriksson bought the zoo.

The zoo lets visitors encounter northern animals through programs that focus on local predator species. These direct interactions help people develop a connection with the wildlife in their own region.

The zoo is easy to reach and offers free parking plus a cafe-style buffet with outdoor seating for visitors. The grounds are fully accessible, so people with mobility challenges can enjoy all areas.

The bear Loke, a long-time favourite at the zoo, entered the Guinness Book of Records in 1990 as the father of the largest bear litter, sextuplets. He arrived at the age of 8 and was mounted after his death in 2013 at 34. The country-store museum "Daniels boa" was moved here from Junselevallen in 2004.
