Best Answer

The first documented real zoo that was open to the public was established in Egypt - by Queen Hatshepsut in 1500 BC. Queen Hatshepsut acquired baboons when she had myrrh saplings brought to Egypt from the Horn of Africa, which, presumably, would have been kept somewhere, but no records exist. Among the animals imported from Punt were rhinos, giraffes, leopards, monkeys and more familiar species like cattle and hounds.
