Safari is a great place to be with the family, it gives you an opportunity to see and be with most of the animals in the middle of a city. It occupies 250 acres of nature in the heart of a densely populated urban area. Its official name, The Zoological Center Tel Aviv – Ramat Gan. Here, in an area of about a 1,000 dunams there is the largest collection of animals in the Middle East. These animals roam in the open area in habitats that simulate their natural ones and the visitors are invited to drive next to them in their private cars- just like in an African Safari. About 1,600 animals from all around the world live in the Ramat Gan Safari, among which are 68 species of mammals, 130 species of birds and 25 species of reptiles.

They eat everything. Hyenas consumes animals of various types and sizes and even other hyenas, carrion, bones, vegetable matter and other animals droppings. Their favorite food is the wildebeests and the zebras. Hyenas have sturdy jaws that can crush bones, and strong digestive juices that make them excellent scavengers. Their gastric juices are bactericidal so they do not become sick even after eating food that has been rotting.
