t takes only a short drive
from the busy, bustling
center of Tel Aviv to be
transferred almost at an ins-
tant to a little piece of Africa,
right in the heart of Israel.
The place in question is the
Zoological Center, a 225 acre
complex adjacent to the
beautiful national park in
Ramat Gan.
The center is composed of
three major related com-
plexes. First is the safari
park, with a road which
meanders for seven
kilometers, which allows the
visitors to enjoy a feast of wild
animals and birds, including
hippopotami, rhinoceros,
zebras, ostriches and lions.
With the exception of the lion
enclosure, which can be
entered only by a system of
double sliding gates, the
animals, all indigenous to
Africa, can roam freely
within the boundaries of the
safari.
The second part of the
center is a 45-acre walled-off
area within the safari that
contains the new zoo with
over 1,000 animals. The zoo
opened in 1981 and houses
animals from around the
world, primarily from the col-
lection of the former Tel Aviv
Zoo. The animals are given as
much space as possible.
"The purpose of a modern
zoo is three-fold: recreation,
education and conservation,"
says Dr. Amelia Terkel, the
curator of the center. Dr.
Terkel came to Israel from
California just over 17 years
ago with a Ph.D. in zoology.
After having worked in Tel
Aviv University, she became
the curator of the center in
1980.
"With more and more
species of animals in real
danger of extinction, we are
forced to view zoos from a new
perspective," Dr. Terkel con-
tinued. "Modern zoos must
breed animals to ensure their
preservation. In the past, zoos
were great consumers of wild-
life; from now on they must be
producers!'
The center has an im-
pressive record of contribu-
tion to the preservation and
breeding of wildlife. Its herd
of 15 African elephants, for
example, is the fifth largest in
captivity in the world. It
began in 1973 with a group of
seven adult elephants being

brought from Africa. By 1988
the herd had increased to 19
by breeding within the zoo.
That same year four
elephants were returned to
Africa, as the species is under
constant threat of extinction
in the wild.
Other endangered species,
such as the white rhinoceros,
have also bred well at the
center, says Dr. Terkel. "The
zoo also provides an oppor-
tunity to see local Israeli
species. Syrian brown bears,
last seen in the wild on
Mount Hermon over 70 years
ago, flourish and breed here."
The center does not always
encourage breeding, however,
as this sometimes makes for
overcrowding, as well as dif-
ficulty in placing in other
zoos in the world. The lions,
for example, number 32, and
the lionesses are given an
anti-reproduction pill. As the
