Quirky World ... 'Worst zoo on planet' to close doors

Croatia’s second largest city of Split will close its zoo, which has been described by foreign tourists as the “worst in the world”.

“We have told the zoo manager to start preparations and draft a program to relocate all animals,” deputy mayor Goran Kovacevic was cited as saying by the national news agency Hina.

Monkeys will be sent to Germany while a solution for a 14-year old tiger is still being considered, he said.
