development history

Huai'an zoo was originally developed on the basis of Wang's surname "Fuxing zoo" in 1958.

In 1977, in the southwest of Nanyuan (now Chuxiu garden in Huai'an City), the site was selected for land acquisition to build a new garden. According to the animal evolution process, reptiles, birds, raptors, small beasts, raptors, herbivores, primates and other animals were arranged in a scientific and reasonable way according to the animal habits of the natural environment, and bird hall, small animal room, waterfowl lake, xiongshan, large monkey mountain, raptor hall, etc. were successively designed and built Deer garden, complex building and other animal exhibition, breeding, management room. At the same time, 67 species and 700 plants were planted in the garden. By the end of 1997, the green coverage rate of the garden reached 90%.
