The Jerusalem Biblical zoo is situated in the south of the city, just south of the Malcha Technology Park, and the Jerusalem Malcha Mall. It is easily accessibly by train (Malcha station), car, and bus.

The zoo is huge! The highlight is a wonderful children’s petting zoo – which, when we went, cost additional to the general zoo admission. The zoo strives to keep to it’s name “Biblical zoo”, hence the animals housed at the zoo are all mentioned in the Bible. Next to each cage is a plaque with an inscription from the Bible where that animal was mentioned.

Here’s a orangutan (I think) looking at one of the visitors. It wasn’t clear to me who was the visitor and who was the caged animal here
