Since 1831, Dublin Zoo has cared for animals large and small, native and exotic. During that time over 55 million people have visited the Zoo and experienced wildlife in ways that reflected Irish society at the time.

In this new edition of Dublin Zoo An Illustrated History the story, Dublin Zoo is brought to life, from its modest beginnings on a four-acre plot to today's Zoo of 70 acres where social groups of animals live in world-class habitats. Nearly two centuries of history are richly illustrated with special emphasis on the last 25 years, which have secured Dublin Zoo’s position as a leader in wildlife conservation and education.

Author Catherine de Courcy is an international expert on the history of zoos.
