High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Qalqilya Zoo is a small zoo covering an area of approximately 20,000 square metres in the Palestinian farming town of Qalqilya on the western edge of the West Bank. Established in 1986, it is the only municipal zoo in the West Bank. Considered the foremost tourist attraction in Qalqilya, there are about 170 animals at the zoo, which also houses a Natural History Museum, children's entertainment park, and on-site restaurant. Before the Israeli military closure of the West Bank and the encirclement of Qalqilya by the Israeli West Bank barrier, there was an average of 3,000 visitors per year. The numbers have since dropped significantly, though the site remains locally popular. The zoo was the brainchild of a former Qalqilya mayor who came to be poorly regarded by most Palestinians because he is considered to have been a collaborator with Israel. Israeli zoos helped to stock it and it was designed to be a symbol of Arab-Israeli cooperation. When it opened in 1986, the zoo was considered "a jewel in the crown of Palestinian national institutions".
