Presentation
Jardin Animalier Rainier III is Monaco's zoo, opened on 25 December 1954 as the Centre d'Acclimatation Zoologique. It is home to nearly 300 animals of 60 species on one hectare: exotic birds, reptiles, primates, lemurs, tortoises, caimans and farm animals, around Pollux the hippopotamus, who arrived in 1986. No animal has ever been purchased: all come from donations, abandonments or customs seizures. Educational panels raise awareness of animal protection, the route is accessible to people with reduced mobility and a playground welcomes children. The garden is closed in 2026 for renovation work.
