‘World’s loneliest zoo’: Chinese man saves abandoned animals and gives them a new home at his private park


Over the past three decades, an 81-year-old Chinese man has been operating by himself a small zoo hosting animals, most of which were saved off the streets or on the way to be slaughtered.

The zoo on Phoenix Mountain Forest Park in Enshi, central Hubei province, is dubbed as the “world’s loneliest zoo” as very few people visit it due to the fact that most of the animals are not healthy, news site The Paper reported.
