At the time of its inauguration in 1959, the zoo sprawled over 4.6 hectares and had 11 houses for over 130 species of more than 600 animals. 
  It has been renovated four times to meet the modern aesthetic senses and the features of animals, with the result that it now covers an area of over 100 hectares with 8 halls and 37 houses for animals.
  Those modern buildings house over 850 species of more than 12 000 animals, which live in the country and which are rare to be found in the world. They give delight to the visitor
