  • About Knowsley Safari
    ABOUTABOUT THE KNOWSLEY KNOWSLEY SAFARI ESTATE Knowsley Safari is situated within the grounds of the Knowsley Estate. Animals and discovery have always been at the heart of the Estate – even before the safari park was ever created. Edward Smith Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, founding member of the Zoological Society of London and president for 20 years, built up a huge collection of birds, mammals and fish from around the world, many of which had never been seen in Britain before. At the time, Lord Derby’s private zoo became the largest and most important of its type in Britain and when he died, his menagerie was as big as 28 bird species and 94 animal species – and an impressive 756 animals bred at Knowsley. In October 1970, nearly 120 years later, the 18th Earl of Derby got permission to build a 346-acre wildlife and game reserve on part of the Estate. The first in the North of England and the first in a big city. Knowsley Safari Park opened in 1971 and quickly became one of the North West’s leading attractions, with new exhibits and the extension of the safari drive to 5 miles in 1973. In 1994, the 19th Earl of Derby took over and increased the visitor numbers and stepped-up participation in worldwide endangered species breeding programmes. Over the past few years, discussions have been underway to change the safari park as we know it now within the ‘Master Plan’. This includes ideas around new animal habitats, a visitor hub, better facilities for guests in the winter months, with attractions and adventure which enable us to be open more days throughout the year.

  • Thirty Years Later: Enrichment Practices for Captive Mammals à Julia M
    Zoo Biology 29 : 303–316 (2010) RESEARCH ARTICLE Thirty Years Later: Enrichment Practices for Captive Mammals à Julia M. Hoy, Peter J. Murray, and Andrew Tribe School of Animal Studies, The University of Queensland, Gatton Campus, Queensland, Australia Environmental enrichment of captive mammals has been steadily evolving over the past thirty years. For this process to continue, it is first necessary to define current enrichment practices and then identify the factors that limit enhancing the quality and quantity of enrichment, as well as the evaluation of its effectiveness. With the objective of obtaining this information, an international multi- institutional questionnaire survey was conducted with individuals working with zoo-housed mammals. Results of the survey showed that regardless of how important different types of enrichment were perceived to be, if providing them was particularly time-consuming, they were not made available to captive mammals as frequently as those requiring less staff time and effort. The groups of mammals provided with enrichment most frequently received it on average fewer than four times per day, resulting in less than two hours per day spent by each animal care staff member on tasks related to enrichment. The time required for staff to complete other husbandry tasks was the factor most limiting the implementation and evaluation of enrichment. The majority of survey respon- dents agreed that they would provide more enrichment and carry out more evaluation of enrichment if it was manageable to do so. The results of this study support the need for greater quantity, variety, frequency, and evaluation of enrichment provided to captive mammals housed in zoos without impinging on available staff time.

  • An Investigation Into the Determining Factors of Zoo Visitor Attendances in UK Zoos
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PubMed Central An Investigation into the Determining Factors of Zoo Visitor Attendances in UK Zoos Andrew William Whitworth1,2* 1 University of Glasgow; Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health & Comparative Medicine; College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences, Glasgow, United Kingdom, 2 The CREES Foundation, London, United Kingdom Abstract The debate as to which animals are most beneficial to keep in zoos in terms of financial and conservative value is readily disputed; however, demographic factors have also been shown to relate to visitor numbers on an international level. The main aims of this research were: (1) To observe the distribution and location of zoos across the UK, (2) to develop a way of calculating zoo popularity in terms of the species kept within a collection and (3) to investigate the factors related to visitor numbers regarding admission costs, popularity of the collection in terms of the species kept and local demographic factors. Zoo visitor numbers were positively correlated with generated popularity ratings for zoos based on the species kept within a collection and admission prices (Pearson correlation: n = 34, r = 0.268, P = 0.126 and n = 34, r = 20.430, P = 0.011). Animal collections are aggregated around large cities and tourist regions, particularly coastal areas. No relationship between demographic variables and visitor numbers was found (Pearson correlation: n = 34, r = 0.268, P = 0.126), which suggests that the popularity of a zoo’s collection relative to the types and numbers of species kept is more indicative of a collection’s visitor numbers than its surrounding demographic figures.
