Kyoto Municipal Zoo

Kyoto Municipal Zoo

Kyoto Municipal Zoo (京都市動物園) is located in Sakyō ward, Kyoto and was established in 1903, making it the second oldest zoo in the country [ [http://www.city.kyoto.jp/koho/eng/historical/chronology02.html The Advancement of Kyoto] ] after Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.

It includes a large, dome-shaped aviary which houses a collection of ducks and other birds. It also has many other animals including lions, bears and even penguines. By western standards the care of the animals is much less than ideal.
