Gembira Loka Zoo (Indonesian: Kebun Binatang Gembira Loka; Javanese: ꦏꦼꦧꦺꦴꦤ꧀ꦫꦗꦒꦼꦩ꧀ꦧꦶꦫꦭꦺꦴꦏ, romanized: Kêbon Raja Gêmbira Loka) is a zoological garden located in Yogyakarta, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Gembira Loka Zoo was opened in 1956 and comprises a botanical garden, orchid nursery, (artificial) lake, children's park, numerous scenic bridges across the Gajahwong River, and a collection of approximately 470 animals, most notable of which are its native Indonesian tigers, leopards, Komodo dragons, saltwater crocodiles, orangutans, and gibbons, as well as African animals such as lions, camels and hippopotamus. The park is 54 acres (21.8 hectares) in size.[1]
In 2019, an area called Zona Cakar ("Scratch Zone") was opened, focusing on mammalian carnivores, especially cats.[2]
Gembira Loka Zoo has received many animals from various countries, through trade and gifts, such as the six African penguins from Singapore Zoo,[3] and eight lesser flamingos from Tanzania.[4]
