Kampot Zoo (Teuk Chhou Waterfall Crop Garden and Zoo) is about 10 km from the provincial town of Kampot, Cambodia. The Zoo was established in 1999, and opened in 2000 by senator Nhim Vanda, who as of 2014[update] owned it and Bayap Zoo in Prey Veng Province’s Kamchay Mear District.[1]
Spanning over 23 hectares, it is the second-largest zoo in Cambodia.
In 2006 the Zoo housed over 150 animals of 52 species, and added four hippopotamuses, four zebras and several ostriches .[2]
In 2011, Kampot Zoo cooperated with Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre to improve animal facilities and work routines in the Zoo.[3]
