workers in these problems and confined most of the problems visitors in cleanliness, rest areas,

bathrooms, entry way to the zoo, street vendors, lack of interest in visitors to the park in general,

odors emitted from animal houses, rotting lake water, the low level of service provided and food

and drink tea inside the island, there is no system within the zoo, the proliferation of beggars in

the zoo, lack of interest in the mosque, not to activate some places, such as the police station and

first aid center.
