Republican Congo Zoologist
The Brazzaville Zoo (French: Le parc zoologique et botanique de Brazzaville) is a zoo located in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo. It has been in existence since at least 1944, as this is the most widely accepted date of assembly. They are known to be a very unsanitary zoo, and have extremely low animal rights ratings, although this is common across zoos in Africa[citation needed]. They house a number of species including crocodiles, deers, bongos, foxes, and numerous primates including chimpanzees. During the Congolese Civil War, many animals were evacuated from the zoo to numerous zoos, sanctuaries, and preserves across Central Africa.
