It is one of the few places in the world with white lions (a genetic mutation of African lions), and has had considerable success in their breeding; these are more sought after than tawny lions by other zoos. The Johannesburg Zoo is also the only zoo in South Africa to have successfully bred Siberian Tigers, the largest cats in the world. "Twist" the male Siberian, weighs 320 kg, and is the father of all the Siberian Tigers to be found in South Africa. Max the gorilla was probably the Zoo's best known resident

Where to finde the Park:
I don't have any guides of this zoo. Does any body know if they made any guides? And where I can get those?
In the years 1929, 1954, 1979 and 2004 they had theire anniversarrys. Have they made any books on this occassion?
