Howletts Wild Animal Park (formerly known as Howletts Zoo) in the parish of Bekesbourne, near Canterbury in Kent, was established as a private zoo in 1957 by John Aspinall. In 1962, the House known as Howletts was being restored. A small cottage was inhabited by an employee. The animal collection was opened to the public in 1975. To give more room for the animals another estate at Port Lympne near Hythe in Kent was purchased in 1973, and opened to the public as Port Lympne Zoo in 1976. The collection is known for being unorthodox, for the encouragement of close personal relationships between staff and animals, and for the breeding of rare and endangered species. Steve Irwin visited the park in 2004 and described the zoo's gorillas as "the finest in the world". Since 1984, both parks have been owned by the John Aspinall Foundation, a charity. Following his death, John Aspinall was buried in front of the Howletts House and a memorial was built next to the grave near the bison.A later extension to Howletts was an open-topped enclosure for black and white colobus, just behind the entrance.

Il est complété par le Zoo de Port Lympne près de Hythe (Kent). Il s'étend sur 36 hectares et abrite plus de 350 animaux pour quarante espèces. L'éléphant d'Afrique, le gorille des plaines de l'ouest et le macaque à queue de lion sont particulièrement mis en valeur. (fr) |
