Comments / picturesRoyal Burgers' Zoo (Dutch: Koninklijke Burgers' Zoo) is a 45-hectare (110-acre) zoo in Arnhem, Netherlands, and is one of the biggest zoos in the country. Arnhem is a city that lies within the Veluwe, a nature park in the east of the Netherlands. The zoo is popular with both Dutch and German people, and receives about 1.5 million visitors annually. It was founded by Johan Burgers in 1913.

Kwimba, a female Asian elephant, caused a stir during her stay at the zoo (1966–1998). She liked to steal the handbags of lady visitors and swallow them whole.
