[ENG] Diversity of animals in a small zoo in Barquisimeto, Venezuela [ESP] Diversidad de animales en un pequeño zoo en Barquisimeto, Venezuela
Dear friends, on this occasion I am pleased to present a series of photos taken at the Bararida Zoological Park, located in the city of Barquisimeto, on the corner of Calle 12 and Carrera 28, 350 kilometers west of Caracas-Venezuela, whose temperature the annual average ranges between a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 33, in degrees Celsius. The photos are intended to demonstrate the zoological diversity of the park, which is also a botanical and breeding center for animals in danger of extinction.
The park is very crowded on weekends by Barquisimetans and visitors to the city with no problems moving around its grounds, as it has a maximum capacity of 2000 people who can enjoy the park, its animals and the attractions that are held frequently.
In the 18 and a half hectares that the park covers, 155 species of animals are housed, including mammals, birds, reptiles, not counting fish. Two characteristics make it unique from a zoological point of view: it has the largest number of spider monkeys in captivity in the world and it is the only zoo in Latin America that has managed to reproduce the manatee. According to information obtained from the internet, they have also achieved the reproduction of the Andean or Spectacled bear, in addition to the Tapir, for the first time in Venezuela.
It has been 55 years since the planting of the trees began and the construction of the roads and the artificial lake began. I am an exceptional witness to this fact because I lived in the urbanization of the same name a few meters from the park that had just begun to be planted and conditioned. The motto of the park is the preservation and reproduction in captivity of animal species, both native and foreign, listed as endangered by international organizations.
All the photos shown in this post are my property, taken by my goddaughter Nilbia Sánchez, on a recent visit to the park, at my express request. The common names of the animals, by what they are known, have been taken from *https://es.scribd.com/document/339262940/Especies-del-Zoologico-Bararida and from the information displayed on posters throughout the park.

Estimados amigos, en esta oportunidad me place presentarles una serie de fotos tomadas en el Parque Zoológico Bararida, situado en la ciudad de Barquisimeto, en la esquina de la calle 12 con Carrera 28, a 350 kilómetros al oeste de Caracas-Venezuela, cuya temperatura promedio anual oscila entre una mínima de 20 y una máxima de 33, en grados centígrados. Las fotos pretenden demostrar la diversidad zoológica del Parque, que además es botánico y centro de reproducción de animales en peligro de extinción.
El parque es muy concurrido los fines de semanas por los barquisimetanos y los visitantes de la ciudad sin problemas para transitar en sus predios, pues tiene una capacidad máxima de 2000 personas que pueden disfrutar del parque, sus animales y las atracciones que se realizan con frecuencia.
En las 18 y media hectárea que cubre el parque se encuentran alojadas 155 especies de animales, entre mamíferos, aves, reptiles, sin contar los peces. Dos características lo hacen singular desde un punto de vista zoológico: posee el mayor número de monos arañas en cautiverio del mundo y es el único zoológico en la América Latina que ha logrado la reproducción del manatí. Según información obtenida de internet, han logrado también la reproducción del oso andino o frontino, además de la Danta, por primera vez en Venezuela.
Hace ya 55 años que se inició la siembra de los árboles y se comenzó con construir las caminerías y el lago artificial. Soy testigo de excepción de este hecho pues vivía en la urbanización del mismo nombre a escasos metros del parque que recién empezaba a ser sembrado y acondicionado. El lema del parque es la preservación y reproducción en cautiverio de especies animales, tanto nativas como extranjeras catalogadas en peligro de extinción por organismos internacionales.
Todas las fotos que se muestran en este post son de mi propiedad, tomadas por mi ahijada Nilbia Sánchez, en una reciente visita al Parque, a solicitud expresa mía. Los nombres comunes de los animales, por lo que son conocidos, los he sacado de *https://es.scribd.com/document/339262940/Especies-del-Zoologico-Bararida y de la información desplegada en cartelones a lo largo del parque.
