Diergaarde Blijdorp (Official Dutch name: Stichting Koninklijke Rotterdamse Diergaarde, Foundation Royal Zoo of Rotterdam) is a zoo in the northwestern part of Rotterdam, one of the oldest zoos in the Netherlands. In 2007 it celebrated its 150th anniversary.

Diergaarde Blijdorp is a member of the Dutch Zoo Federation (NVD) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA).


History





Giraffes and monumental building
The original Rotterdam Zoo was lost in the bombing of Rotterdam in World War II, which destroyed most of the city centre. Some streetnames, such as Diergaardesingel (Zoolane), still recall the old zoo. Blijdorp was rebuilt slightly to the north, where it opened to the public in its current location on December 7, 1940. The new zoo was designed by Dutch architect Sybold van Ravesteyn, who designed the central railway station in Rotterdam, as well. In 2001, 'Blijdorp' became almost twice as large when it opened a new western part, called Oceanium, with its main attraction an aquarium. In 2007, the zoo was declared a rijksmonument.[3]

In May 2007 the zoo appeared in the news when Bokito, Blijdorp's silverback gorilla, escaped from his enclosure and seriously injured a female visitor. Before the attack, the woman was a regular visitor of the zoo (on average 4 times per week) and claimed to have a special bond with Bokito, regularly touching the glass between her and the gorilla, making eye contact and smiling to him.[4]

In October 2010, the city of Rotterdam decided to reduce its yearly funding of Blijdorp from nearly 4.5 to about 0.8 million Euro until 2015.[5] The zoo and its supporters protested the decision, claiming it is unclear if the zoo can continue to operate with the reduced budget.[6]

Lion (Panthera leo)

The lion is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with an endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in India, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, across Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru. The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of thirty to fifty percent over the past two decades in its African range. Lion populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion

Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii) of the Louisiana Swamp Waters Exhibit

It is one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world. It is not closely related to, but is often associated with the common snapping turtle. They are the sole living member of the genus Macrochelys--while common snappers are in the genus Chelydra. The epithet temminckii is in honor of Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligator_snapping_turtle

Snapper After Rescue

Image by shrinksteve
This is the same Snapping Turtle after I yanked the fishing line from its mouth. I didn't get a hook when I pulled but the turtle was free of its anchor and able to swim without having to tow a long line of weeds with it. I have been assured by a good friend and herpetologist, that the turtle will now be fine as they are hardy and can sustain significant injury without dying. If you look closely you might see the small trail of blood coming from its mouth, leading to the left side of the photo off the frame. I did a quick yank so as not to induce too much tearing. I figured its sharp and powerful beak would cut the line, and it did!

I caught this hawk yesterday. It was attached to a cage with birds at our manege. She brook free during a demonstration and an hour later we found out who she belonged to and she was returned to her owner. They use these hawks to educate young people about birds of prey. It was born in captivity.

20070325-26 - Catcha the raccoon - 116-1687,1688 - releasing the raccoon (60s) (mjpeg) (20fps) (mono snd)

Image by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL)
FREEDOM AT LAST! Raccoon #1 is free. He's still pretty friendly... He wasn't that interested in running far away, he really just wanted to get to trees and water. Hopefully the park is a better habitat for him than our attic. Of course, raccoons supposedly home 5-10 miles. But we made sure to cross to the outside of the beltway, so he would have to be pretty stubborn to make it all the way back here. The park is much bigger than the creek between my street and the next. Stay tuned -- in a couple of months, we caught raccoon #2. Since then, there have been no more raccoons -- but there is still a squirrel living in our attic.

Lion (Panthera leo)

The lion is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with an endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in India, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, across Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru. The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of thirty to fifty percent over the past two decades in its African range. Lion populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion

Reticulated Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata)

Also called Somali Giraffe. is a subspecies of giraffe native to Somalia, northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia. Reticulated giraffes can interbreed with other giraffe subspecies in captivity or if they come into contact with populations of other subspecies in the wild.

The reticulated giraffe is among the most well-known of the nine giraffe subspecies, and together with the Rothschild giraffe it is by far the giraffe most commonly seen in zoos.[1] Its coat consists of large, polygonal liver-colored spots outlined by a network of bright white lines. The blocks may sometimes appear deep red and may also cover the legs. The extraordinary height of giraffes is attributed to a ritual known as "necking" where two males fight for reproduction rights by slamming their necks into one another. The giraffes with the tallest and strongest necks are victorious and allowed to reproduce, thus passing these genes on to future generations. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffa_camelopardalis_reticulata
