The Belgrade Zoological Garden was officially opened on 12 July 1936, by Belgrade mayor Vlada Ilic. During the Second World War, the zoo was bombed twice, by the Nazis in 1941 and by the Allies in 1944, heavily damaging the infrastructure and killing most of the animals. The zoo also lost seven hectares of land.
The zoo's biggest attraction are its white and albino animals, especially the white lions received from Kruger National Park in 2005. Belgrade was one of the first cities to hold white lions and has become an important breeding ground of these animals. The zoo is also active in conservation and species-preservation efforts of the endangered local fauna such as Balkan lynx and bearded vulture. In September 2018, the zoo reintroduced its first griffon vulture to the wild. Other notable animal species in Belgrade Zoo's collection include Bornean orangutan, ring-tailed lemur,cheetah,jaguar, serval, hyena, Arctic wolf, fennec fox, meerkat, honey badger, binturong, raccoon, Oriental small-clawed otter, polar bear, Cape fur seal, Grant's zebra, Brazilian tapir, American bison, Bactrian camel, hippopotamus, Rothschild's giraffe, Indian elephant, red kangaroo, ostrich, southern cassowary, Chilean flamingo, southern ground hornbill, marabou stork, Egyptian vulture, Andean condor and Cuban crocodile.
